3.Be sure that our core values are maintained and assured before we ever consider economic development grants.
Q: What is an issue you believe has gone overlooked in your race and how will you address it if elected?
A: Economic development grants that don't dig deeper than financial. The consideration for the grant needs to delve into core values so that we are not bowing down to the idol of money. I love it that there are so many potential grants out there to possibly benefit our county and definitely want to take advantage of as many as possible. But let's concentrate our time and efforts on those that will bring the most benefit to the majority of citizens and line up with our citizens' core values and desires.

A: I'm the one that's stepping out of the popular political mold and shaping the unpopular morality mold. Character and values are more valuable than popularity and money.
