Core Values

Education

Our children deserve a world-class education system. To achieve this goal, standards must be established to ensure children can perform at their grade level before moving to the next grade.

Health Care

Health insurace costs continually reduce a family's paycheck and make it harder to make ends meet. I will work to reduce healthcare costs so families can keep more of what they earn.

Public Safety

I have seen firsthand the devastating effects of meth, sexual predators, and other violent crimes have on Iowa families. Protecting citizens is the primary role of government.
