principles that promote healthy communities, strong families & individual

role of government should be limited to vital functions that promote
the general welfare
and quality of life for all citizens. Ken believes Governmental
policies should support promote business and economic development.
Personal
and business freedoms should be protected from undue governmental
regulations. Keeping taxes low Keeping more money in
taxpayers’pockets provides greater control over their financial
well being.

important to value life from the womb to the grave. Our constitutional
freedoms must be protected through adhering to the original intent
of our foundational document.

and the drive for success and innovation is promoted through
the free enterprise system. A system that rewards creativity
and risk taking is the key to keeping our state and nation strong.through
a focus on key issues. Quality

Graduation rates must be improved through defined standards, accountability
and equipping students for success in the work force and higher

key issue faced by policy makers. We need as system that allows

property for the benefit of private business or solely the economic
enhancement
