• FOR LIFE, believing in the sanctity of human life, including the pre-born, the disabled and the elderly.
• FOR QUALITY EDUCATION for all students, believing that education of Kentucky’s citizenry is key to Kentucky’s future.
• FOR TOUGHER PENALITIES for criminals, believing that those who “do the crime should do the time.”
• FOR DOWNSIZING STATE GOVERNMENT, believing that, as with business, government should be run efficiently, without bureaucratic red tape.
|
|
• AGAINST TAXES, believing that government should live within its means.
• AGAINST GUN CONTROL, believing that a free society depends upon a citizenry that is free to bear arms to protect one’s home, as well as one’s life and property.
• AGAINST STATE-RUN HEALTH CARE, believing that the free market is the best system to control costs.
• AGAINST TOLLS for the reconstruction of the Brent Spence Bridge (he voted against the bill which would have established the authority to levy tolls). |
