What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and state legislature?

The Legislature passes the laws, the Governor signs them. The Legislature is the closest body to the people, and is better suited to lead the way on drafting and passing legislation. I believe that both branches should work together on behalf of the people.

What do you perceive to be your state's greatest challenges over the next decade?

Overcoming the influence of lobbyists and special interest groups. Some have admirable goals and are truly seeking the best solution for the people, some are just trying to protect whoever pays the bills. As legislators we need to be beholden to the citizens first and foremost.

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?

I don't think it is necessary to have success, although there is a sharp learning curve when first taking office.

Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.

It is a key to being successful.

Are you interested in running for a different political office (for example, the U.S. Congress or governor) in the future?

Possibly.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

I believe that if compromise can be had without compromising values then it should be sought. However, I take my marching orders from the citizens, and will be uncompromising in my representation of their desires.

We cannot compromise and weaken legislation. Compromise is saying "ok you've got a better idea than me to deal with this issue, let's do it your way," not "ok well we will only do half of what we said we would do."
