Family
Family is the cornerstone from which we build strong communities. It is central to the functioning and flourishing of our children. The strength of our families is a clear indicator of the strength and heath of our state and our nation.
Liberty
Freedom isn't free. It comes with risk and responsibility. It seems we take our freedoms for granted and are too willing to give them away in exchange for a thin veneer of safety and security.
Safety
As the husband of a career paramedic/firefighter, I know the importance, and struggles, of our first responders and police officers. These men and women put their health and lives on the line to keep us safe and patch us up when we're injured. They need our full support.
Economy
A thriving small businesses community signals a flourishing community writ large. Furthermore, being an entrepreneur is a quintessential symbol of autonomy and should be encouraged.
Health
It is our responsibility to ourselves, to our families, our communities, and our nation to pursue great health. We learn from doing the challenging work that makes us healthy and strong. We are able to respond when the situation demands. Good physical health translates into good mental health and good mental health leads to healthier bodies. Let's do the work to be our best selves.
Environment
It is our sacred duty to be good stewards of the land and sea. Those who believe that people who hunt and fish are at odds with nature couldn't be more wrong. We work to preserve the wild. We have deep and lasting love for it and the creatures within.
