CONTROL THE BUDGET & CUT WASTEFUL SPENDING

Colleen will make keeping our budget in check and eliminating all unnecessary spending a top priority. She will constantly look for ways for the state to provide better services for less money and explore cost effective alternatives to current expenditures.

CREATE JOBS THROUGH ECONOMIC GROWTH

Our families depend on good jobs and our employers depend on our government to ensure an environment that encourages job creation. Colleen believes that by keeping taxes low and reducing the regulatory burden on our job creators, we can promote strong economic growth that benefits everybody.

DEFEND OUR CONSERVATIVE VALUES

Our conservative values help define our community. From protecting life and our 2nd Amendment rights, to defending our liberties as outlined in the Constitution, we can count on Colleen to always stand up for us.[10]
