Statement Of Candidacy
On the Issues » 3 Comments to Read
Why do I want to be a United States Representative? I submit this Statement Of Candidacy for your review. I believe in Individual Freedom. I believe in a Limited Federal Government. I believe in Low Taxes and Free Markets. I believe in having a Strong National Security. These are the reasons I am a Republican and this is the overarching point of view I would bring to the table as your Congressman. My desire to do this job stems in large part from my goal of a life of public service, in all of its forms. I have always wanted, and will always strive, to be a public servant and to better the future of Indiana and the United States. A President once said, “…ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” These words ring as true today as they did almost 50 years ago and I want to answer the call of service. I have the ability, education, experience and capacity to be an effective Congressman and I would always do my best for the constituency.
I want to bring a sense of honor, decency, integrity and common sense back into the U.S. Congress. Too often we hear people claim that all politicians are the same and they are only looking out for themselves. With an average Congressional approval rating regularly below 40 percent, I am not at all surprised to hear these sentiments. What most politicians seem to forget is that they are elected to represent the best interests of their constituencies and their country…not their own interests. I will never forget why I walk the halls of Congress and I pledge to always do my best for the District, State and Country.
Increasingly in today’s political scene politicians vote along party lines or based on special interests. It has always been a strength of mine to look at all sides of an issue before taking a position and to make my decision based off of “is this policy going to be in the best interests of my constituency rather than myself, my party or special interest groups?” I will always vote for the bill that is the most beneficial for the Hoosiers I represent and will never vote for a bill only based on who initiated and supports it. I believe that representing the interests of all of my constituents, rather than some, is the best way to ensure a free, safe and prosperous America for all citizens and future generations.
We stand at a crossroads in our history and need to assure the continued leadership of this country on the world stage. It is time to usher in the next generation to take up the reigns of leadership and responsibility for the future of the U.S. I accept this challenge and ask for your support and vote in the 2010 elections.
