Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

No county or state property tax if you are retired and your land is paid for.We should receive all Social Security that we paid into plus interest. The SS money that we pay into should be earmarked with our name and cashed out at retirement. I will call States Rights and stop the withdrawal of SS from our paychecks until an account is set up.No more dumping in our drinking water source. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1D1NgysoG3/
