"I am a strong advocate of public policies based upon free enterprise, individual responsibility, limited government, traditional American values and strong national defense. These conservative principles have made America great and are our best hope for the future. This is the compass that will guide my decisions. I want to be a part of a revolution in politics that puts the American people first...a new day in Washington where men and women go to serve their country and work together to bring about real solutions to the problems our families face."
