| 1. What inspired you to run for public office, and what positive changes do you hope to bring to your district/state if elected? | Current officials are complacent and refuse to maintain conservative principals. The quality of life for taxpayers is neglected while our officials use their positions to climb the political ladder. I intend to use my experience and energy to encourage economic growth by discouraging over regulation of small business. Further I will focus on a return to educational values in our public schools away from the social engineering espoused by Pa teacher union. I will encourage and support school choice and particularly parental rights. |
