- “A congressman does not create jobs. Entrepreneurs and business owners create jobs. It is the role of government to support those individuals. Our tax codes must reflect the value of owning and operating businesses on our own soil.” (votesmart.org)

- “I believe education is the bedrock to securing a prosperous future for our children and our country. We have a system full of students who are eager to learn and teachers who are eager to teach. Politicians in DC cannot begin to understand the array of challenges facing today's students and teachers across this country, let alone effectively create an umbrella plan that will solve them all. The role of the federal government in education should be limited to providing the tools necessary for educators to do their jobs. I believe in putting the education system back in the hands of our teachers, administrators and local governments who can more accurately identify and resolve problems in the system.” (votesmart.org)

- “As your Representative I will oppose any legislation that 'infringes' upon your right to "keep and bear arms". This Amendment was put in place as the last line of defense against tyranny. In our modern world of limited police resources it is your first line of defense against anyone who intends to do you or your family harm. As your Representative I will fight to defend the Constitution, as a whole, and will not stand idly by while Washington attempts to chip away at your rights!” (votesmart.org)
- “As your representative I will fight to repeal current healthcare legislation that has created this problem and begin exploring a top down approach to healing through effective tort reform.” (votesmart.org)
- “Politicians continue to talk but always stop short of action. In fact, it almost seems Washington has taken a rather hands off approach by creating amnesty programs and failing to secure our borders. We need a tougher stance on immigration that prohibits illegal entry, period! We need to begin by ensuring our borders and ports (sea and air) are secure while actively pursuing and deporting illegals all across the country. Further, government support in any form should never be available to an individual who is not currently granted or pursuing citizenship.” (votesmart.org)
