Core Values
- Focus on the Family
The family is the cornerstone of our society. As such, we as a society need to promote the primacy of family in raising & supporting children. If families struggle, society struggles.
- Individual Liberty & Personal Duty
This nation was founded on the ideals described within the Declaration of Independence. We the People take on our civic duty to be active and involved in promoting those ideals & utterly rejecting the radical modern ideologies which undermine them.
- Small, Limited, & Fiscally-Responsible Government, at all levels
If the cause of individual liberty is not promoted, it is an opportunity for government coercion to move in. Citizens should demand a government that is responsible with their tax dollars, never spending outside its means. I will not raise taxes. I have signed a pledge not to - and I intend to keep it.
- Authentically Pro-Life “From Womb to Tomb”
All human life is sacred, and has inherent dignity and value to society. In the womb, at home, in schools, at work, at the doctor's office, in the streets, overseas, in this country. I have been active for the cause of life from my youth, praying outside clinics, attending rallies all over the country, studying the law on life issues, and engaging in the one-on-one conversation necessary to build a culture of life.
- Slow & Responsible Limited Development
Collier County has experienced a historic boom in the last decade, much of had has outpaced the infrastructure necessary to support it. At this point, any further developments must only address specific targeted needs, like improving traffic conditions, increasing attainable housing for families, and streamlining the permitting process for current homeowners. Any future development must only be done while striving to maintain the character of Collier County for future generations.
As Commissioner:
My 3 Priorities:
- Families First. I pledge to approach every decision from the perspective of how it will affect families with children - my loyalty is to them. I am not a career politician, nor do I intend to become one. Whether it's about traffic, housing, permitting, street lights, zoning, or business opportunities, families come first.
- I will seek to create (and publish) an official Collier County After-Action Report on the COVID-19 Pandemic, to include Lessons Learned to serve as guidance to future County leadership in the event these questions should ever arise again. Mask mandates, school closings, beach bans, and mandatory vaccination were publicly pushed with questionable results. Those results must be studied and pushed to the public with equal vigor.
- Seek to make Collier County a Sanctuary County for the Unborn. The overturn of Roe rightfully returned the issue to the states after a 50 year constitutional freeze on the political process. The science is settled - human life begins at conception. This measure protects every human life in the womb in Collier County and will set the example for other counties in Florida.
