Why I am Running
I am running to keep America strong. Our
nation has accumulated serious problems and they threaten to overwhelm
us. Our national security policy weaknesses have made the world a more
dangerous place. Our economic prospects seem less certain. Our energy
policy has not kept pace with our economy. The opportunity for all
Americans to enjoy a brighter future is in doubt - especially for young
adults, those trying to break the bonds of poverty, and those
legitimately new to our country.
To keep our country great, we will need to find solutions to these
problems. So far the response to these challenges of the post-cold-war
era has featured too much well-intentioned, but misdirected government
policy and too many ineffective or counter-productive programs. As a
candidate, I will seek the input of the people of south-central
Wisconsin and offer problem-solving ideas. I will do this without
regard to all of the political considerations that usually cloud
policy-making. If you agree with me, I ask for your vote. That is how
we can affect change in the democratic process. |
Personal Philosophy
As a
teacher for almost 30 years I always
aim to make my students self-reliant. I teach my students skills,
correct their practice, and then get out of their way. I believe that
the Federal Government should operate with the same philosophy.
Government can be a great and important tool when confined to its
traditional limited role. When government fosters dependence, our
welfare suffers. Our nation became great by relying on principles of
political and economic freedom. We are a land of opportunity. |
