Priority Issues:

-We must balance the budget. National debt will leave an oppressive legacy to our children and grandchildren.
-Spending beyond our means, fueled by wanton borrowing, poses a severe threat to our nation's well being. We must become faithful stewards of our Nation's blessings.
-Fair Tax reform should replace the current federal income tax system that has become bloated, corrupt and unmanageable.
-Reduce federal government cost. Relocate federal agencies in less expensive cities around the country, thus also boosting those local economies.

Reason for Seeking Public Office:

Jason Smith has done a pretty good job of casting votes to balance the budget. Unfortunately for the American people the budget has not been in balance in the 3 years he has been in the House of Representatives. In fact, the U.S. Congress has not balanced the budget since 2001. This election is not about casting votes…it is about achieving results. We in the 8th district no longer want to hear why the budget is not balanced. We desire and deserve fiscal integrity. In other words, the people of our district and all American citizens must have a balanced budget--and we must have it NOW. Leadership in this endeavor is lacking in Washington. That is why I am running…to provide the leadership which has not been provided by the incumbent. If you simply want a defendable voting record, vote for him. If you want a congressman who will lead our Congress and Country back to fiscal integrity, vote for me. It is as simple as that.
