I am in the Insurance Business 44 years, married to my High School sweetheart 47 years, Father of 7 and Grandfather of 22.

I am Conservative and am running for office as I believe we need more Conservatives in Leadership in our Government.

I love our Nation and am a proud native of the Great State of Indiana.

I feel as though we all lived through the last two years in a Bizzarro World, where Gov't shut down Churches, closed Businesses, Mandated masks, vaccines, etc.

I want Gov't to get out of the way and allow us to decide what precautions we will take going forward with any other Emergencies that may arise.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Fiscal Responsibility of Government, they take too much of our money and do some really unnecessary things that many taxpayers find objectionable to their moral and religious beliefs, like funding Abortion.

Our State should move away from Pensions and transition to the 401K type programs eliminating unfunded liabilities.

Much can be saved without sacrificing quality of care for the Medicare/Medicaid group at no cost to Government, I am surprised this has not already been done, I can help.

I believe we can do more to protect the unborn.

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

Respect

The legislature is making law based on what they are hearing from the People in the State, the Governor should have a great deal of respect for that.

Our legislature just passed a bill banning Trans Males from competing in girls sports and our Governor Vetoed it!, The legislature is scheduled to override that Veto in May! Not sure what the Governor is gaining here.

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

I notice Government tends to drift out of it's lane often, requiring more of our money to do things we don't want, they tend to legalize many things like Gambling, Marijuana, simply because they now get revenue from it, it used to be against the law but now that we get revenue its OK.
