Two Clear Paths

There are two clear choices on Tuesday. We can continue down a path of big government, higher taxes and less freedom, or we can demand from our legislators a limited government with less spending, lower taxes and more freedom.

The party in power does not understand compassion or know how to manage its finances. It is not compassionate to spend our hard-earned money without restraint or regard for the price we pay for the bad decisions made by out-of-touch politicians. Borrowing more, taxing more and spending more of our money with no solutions to the problems we face are the only accomplishments the Democrats can lay claim to.

I am running for state representative in Hopkinton, Warner and Webster. I refuse to let the children of New Hampshire face downward mobility all because our current representatives want to turn our state into a breeding ground of big government programs topped with an unsustainable level of debt. If we are to preserve the freedom and opportunity for our children we must put on the breaks and we must do it now. We have become too big, too inefficient and too expensive.

If elected, I will fight to cut wasteful spending and the taxes that are emptying our wallets. Protecting property, income and individual liberty are my three priorities, and currently all three are under assault. If you believe what I believe, I ask for your vote on Tuesday.
