Mission & vision

When our twin daughters grow up, I will tell them to “be positive, work hard, respect others and get things done.” I live by these rules. Today, I  believe we can make a difference for our state. I dedicate myself fully to drafting common sense laws that protect our rights, promote a better quality of life and produce a business environment that will attract companies and jobs.
