Why are you seeking elective office?

To fight the cost and growth of government and limit its power.

The single most pressing issue facing our (board, district, etc.) is _______, and this is what I intend to do about it.

Government interference in the private sector. I will oppose new restrictions on business and look for ways to try to repeal others.

What are the critical differences between you and the other candidates seeking this post?

My opponent on the Democrat side supports big government and has voted for every tax and regulation that has been proposed in this current term.

If you are a challenger, in what way has the current board or officeholder failed the community (or district or constituency)

Londonderry is a conservative town. Anne Warner is a liberal Democrat who does not properly represent it.

Describe the other issues that define your campaign platform

I am supportive of the police and worked with law enforcement in all ten counties as a state fraud investigator. I strongly support the Second Amendment. I am pro-life. I will actively oppose a state sales or income tax.

What accomplishments in your past would you cite as evidence you can handle this job?

My work as a state fraud investigator. I resolved 2,339 cases and was involved in the successful prosecutions of 211 misdemeanor and felony convictions.

The best advice ever shared with me was …

Always be responsive and honest with the voters.

What else would you like voters to know about yourself and your positions?

That while we may not always agree on every issue, I will always be willing to listen and discuss their concerns.
