What I Stand For
My campaign rests on three pillars
I think all of these problems, and many more, MUST be addressed in the next Congress. I’m running for office because I LOVE this country and want to see these problems FIXED, not kicked down the road!
Take Care of Our Neighbors
- Protect and improve Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid
- Restore the staff and funding cuts to VA hospitals
- Protect our borders and support our police officers in getting dangerous criminals off our streets
Provide Economic Opportunities
- Get our fair share of federal development grants – every other district in Indiana has benefited EXCEPT for the Ninth District
- Find better ways to leverage our outstanding universities, colleges and Ivy-tech campuses in preparing Ninth District Hoosiers for well-paying jobs
- Pass a comprehensive five-year Farm Bill to provide Ninth District farmers with certainty about government policies for farming
- Encourage more efficient use of Federal highway funds to avoid/remove tolls on our highways and bridges.
Work for Common Sense Solutions
- I’ve spent my life finding WIN-WIN solutions in difficult situations and, in most instances, I have been successful
- I can absolutely work with Indiana Republicans, like Senator Todd Young, to bring high technology jobs to the Ninth District
- I’m confident I can work with national Republicans in Congress to attack critical issues like reducing the budget deficit, improving healthcare, and shoring up Social Security and Medicare
- Support legislation establishing term limits for US Representatives and Senators.
