People work hard for the money that they send here. We're going to save for the future, but we also need to send some of the money back to the people who sent it to us.

In order to be a viable statewide candidate, you have to be able to raise money so you can get your message out. And that is separate and distinct from what happens during session.

I think half a billion dollars is still a significant amount of money. Citizens pay attention to how much their property taxes are, particularly when your property (value) is going up pretty dramatically.

It's moving at a snail's pace, but what we have to do now is work on raising money so we can put the water lines in.

People need to prepare for a stable financial future. And make sure your money is in a safe place with responsible people. You want to be sure your funds are in trustworthy hands.

It's good for our people. It shows we're investing in our future.
