TAXES & DEBT

Lowering taxes gives working men and women the ability to take control of their own lives. It allows business owners to invest in their companies, pay their employees, and create new jobs.

As Senator, I would ensure that real free market principles are applied to fix this problem. (Read More)

CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM

Last year, over 15,000 individuals worked for organizations whose sole goal was to rip you off. No, not the mafia or Goldman Sachs, but another distinctly criminal class—Washington lobbyists.
