Statement: As a community leader and successful business person, I’ve seen firsthand the great things we can do when we work together. If elected, fully funding education will be my top priority. During his time in office, my opponent has cut school funding and increased college tuition for families. Last year my opponent supported $1.3 billion in new taxes with no spending restraint. I’ll represent the interests of voters and families, not entrenched special interests, by holding down college tuition and supporting budget reforms. We need balanced solutions and independent leadership to solve our problems. I’d appreciate your vote.
