- I believe in the true conservative values of limited government, personal responsibility, and local control.
- I believe in strong families. I am a pro-life legislator, with a 100% score from SD Right to Life. Protecting the life of the unborn and the innocent is one of the most important things we can do.
- I am a gun owner and support the Second Amendment.
- I believe in the free enterprise system.
- I support responsible tax policy that allows government to fulfill its responsibilities, without extracting more than necessary from the citizens.
- I support a sound education system for our children.
- I support State employees (I’ve been one, and have been married to one for 34 years). The State employees I know are dedicated, hard-working, and care about doing a good job for the taxpayers.
