1) What would you do to improve the housing market?

To get the housing market back to where it should be, we need to address foreclosure issues and make it easier for potential homeowners to obtain legitimate loans.

2) What would you to do bring jobs and businesses to Florida?

Our state needs to make a concerted effort to attract new businesses, entrepreneurs and industries. To get our economy back on track, we must foster a pro-business environment and deliver much-needed relief and stimulus to small business owners. Florida must become the most attractive place to do business in when compared to any other state or country, and a lower tax rate will create jobs while allowing our current businesses to grow and prosper.

3) Why should people vote for you instead of your opponent?

I am running for this seat with the same enthusiasm and passion as the day I set out to run at the local level. I am committed to bettering our local community and our great state.

My top three priorities will be reducing government spending, improving our education system and bringing jobs to Northeast Florida. As our state continues to face tough economic times, it is necessary for us to continue to turn the tide through small business incentives, less regulation and free market principles. We need to grow our job base and help our local economy rebound by fostering a pro-business environment.

Additionally, just as all of our residents have had to tighten their spending belts, we must reduce government spending and cut government waste. It is also very important to me that we continue to improve our education system by continuing to promote Jeb Bush’s education reforms and policies.
