Statement I am running to empower our law enforcement to protect our communities, restore individual liberties, and protect our small businesses and farms. I believe you should be able to choose your child’s educational environment, what goes into you and your family’s bodies, and have confidence in our election system. Government programs are inefficient compared to free enterprise. We need tax relief, not government subsidy. I value our constitutional rights to free speech, bear arms, and right to life. Loving your neighbor means fighting to protect and defend your neighbor’s liberty. I will honor God with my legislative responsibilities.
Statement Larry will be a new kind of Representative – a term limited, transparent public servant who puts our citizens before big business or special interests and solutions before ideology. We also need a new kind of informed, tolerant, discerning citizen – An “ally” to his or her fellow Americans. A citizen who doesn’t: vote straight party tickets; blindly adopt positions that are mandated by political tribe; vilify other Americans because of differences. Both major parties only focus on making the other side lose so that we all end up losing in the end. Not right, not left, move forward together.
BCRP endorsed.
