My Top 3 Priorities
- Return our education system to its functional best, directing school districts to reduce administrative overhead and return funds to the CLASSROOM.
- Protect citizens Rights from out of control county agencies by providing public oversight bodies and means of sanctioning agencies found out of line by the communities they SERVE.
- Undo burdensome obstacles that are keeping small business from being able to compete with the corporations, creating jobs and new business opportunities for REGULAR Americans.
