Jobs, The Economy, and Taxation

Excerpt: "Stephen will continue the fight against tax increases and government intrusion at the state level to help district 108 grow and reach its full potential."

Limitation and moderation within the role of the government

Excerpt: "As your representative, Stephen will continue his work at the state level to help keep bureaucrats off of the backs of small business owners and proprietors."

Healthcare Choices

Excerpt: "The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) is not for everyone, and should not have been forced onto the citizenry of our state. If allowed to become too burdensome, it can impact our economy. Any new healthcare reform plans should begin with careful examination and should be centered upon strengthening the doctor-patient relationship."

Educational Choices

Excerpt: "Stephen Goldfinch supports improved educational choices for children. A sound educational foundation is fundamental to a strong economy and continued growth within our nation, our state and our district. He believes that education is best addressed by the state and local school districts and not by Washington, DC. Parents should have as many choices as possible for their child’s education. Stephen supports legislation that promotes both school choice and accountability for performance at the state level."

Maintenance Dredging for the Port of Georgetown

Excerpt: "Stephen helped fight for funding approval to begin the dredging project. It will increase the depth of the Georgetown channel to 27 feet to allow for easier access by ships and boats into the port. This will surely improve and grow the area’s economy and help the port become successful again."
