I believe there are necessities for taxes, but I also believe that there is a limit as to how much we can pay in taxes before taxes harm us and the economy. We have surpassed that limit. It is my goal to NEVER increase taxes unless it is written for one specific thing and placed into an item-specific fund where it truly benefits the people and community. I believe that most financial problems can be solved via budgeting and responsible spending; tax increases should be the VERY last resort.

I do not believe in treating one person differently than another merely because of their name or family. I believe that playing politics whilst people are suffering is despicable and inhuman. I will NEVER put people lives after a political agenda, nor will I give special treatment to those people who have power and money. I believe that ALL political problems can be solved via common sense and basic human decency.

I believe that our youth need to know the importance of their voting privilege and take it seriously when they come of age. I believe that our Young Adult voters need to realize the importance of their voting privilege and exercise their privilege with pride. I believe that all citizens need to realize how special our voting privilege is.
