Energy – We must work towards energy independence by using all available options, including new drilling and further work on new sources.

Job Growth – It is time that we improve our technology training and promote business growth.

Taxes – Our burden will only grow if we do not increase accountability in Washington. Government needs to be right sized not supersized.

Healthcare – Our rural healthcare system is surviving but struggling. We need to fix the Medicare / Medicaid systems and protect our rural hospitals and practitioners.

I-80 Tolling – This is a bad piece of legislation that will hurt all of Pennsylvania, especially our district. We must fight to oppose it at all levels.

Gun Rights – As a hunter and an advocate for our gun rights, I will, without reservation do anything to preserve our gun right heritage.

Protecting Life – Our most vulnerable need our protection. As your congressman I will work to further our pro-life cause.

Parental Rights – Power in the educational process of their children is a vital right for our nation’s parents. I will fight for these rights.

Supporting our Troops – Our troops are the finest fighting force in the world and we must maintain that. We are winning in Iraq and Afghanistan and it is vital that we continue those missions to victory.

Immigration – Reform is needed. It takes too long to get here legally, it is too easy to stay here illegally, and we have not secured our borders effectively

Fair Trade – We cannot allow our businesses to remain at a competitive disadvantage. Fair trade and free trade must become synonymous with each other.
