I am Pro Life and believe that abortion is the murder of an innocent life, I also believe that Planned Parenthood should be defunded. I believe in traditional marriage, and that it should be the union of a man and woman. I am a supporter of better medical and mental health care for our states veterans. I believe that we should improve the state's classrooms. I support pay raises for our teachers and an improved retirement system, to retain and hire better qualified educators. I support better assistance to our elderly seniors who are hungry and struggling to make ends meet. I support improving our roadways and bridges which in some areas are in a state of emergency. I believe that we need to reorganize our welfare system and make drug testing mandatory, making it only a temporary program providing basic necessities of living. [5] |
