My Position on Local Politics
*I am fiscally conservative.
There is no such thing as county money.
It is taxpayer money that is entrusted to the county.
Therefore, "tax policies should raise the minimum revenue
necessary to fund only constitutionally appropriate functions of government."
*I am pro law enforcement and believe in the rule of law.
We should make sure that the men and women in law enforcement
are fairly compensated and have the resources needed to keep
them as safe as possible.
*I uphold the constitutional right to private property.
The individual should have the right to enjoy the
fruits of their labor and to use their land as they see fit.
I also believe that "individuals and families make the best decisions
for themselves and their children about their health, education, jobs..."
* I am pro life.
I believe wholeheartedly in the sanctity of human life and will always
uphold and defend the unborn whether it be a resolution or otherwise.

VOTE - the future depends on it.
The current method for liberalism and big government politicians to gain power, is to be disingenuous. They call themselves Republicans when behaving as Democrats and colluding with Democrats to advance their agenda. We sadly cannot trust what politicians say anymore, we must pay attention to what they are doing. By the time most people realize what is going on, our county will have become a place that we do not recognize.
We must all turn out to vote in this primary if we want to stop establishment politicians from both parties from silencing Oconee's conservative voice.
