**My guiding principles are simple: To support my family, community, the Bill of Rights, and the Constitution which forms this great Nation. Support means giving, not simply taking and exploiting. It means contributing your fair share to the defense and welfare of this country. I will follow these priorities as your Representative: Strength and Security; Rule of Law; Prosperity and Opportunity; and Protection of our Way of Life in the foothills and plains of CD6. The job of our government is to pass and enforce laws that solve problems without bankrupting the country. As a member of Congress, I intend to use my values, priorities and leadership to do just that.**
