Question: Last legislative session, the major initiative was a tax increase to support education in the state. What should the major accomplishment of 2017 legislature be?
Creating a balanced budget without adding more burden onto the taxpayer while making strides to improve our communities.
Question: If recreational marijuana is legalized by voters in this state, do you want revenue from it to fund health initiatives, research and/or youth awareness campaigns?
Absolutely yes. Just as we did with the tobacco money the same should be done with marijuana money. Put the revenues towards education, healthcare, research..etc

Question: Do you support the construction of a taxpayer-funded NFL stadium?
