"My commitment to fight for the policies I believe would make America greater, therefore our communities better, stems from the principles of Abraham Lincoln, Ayn Rand, Winston Churchill and Ronald Reagan. These men and women of great courage and wisdom have inspired me to be a crusader of their ideals, ideas and philosophies. We must not let the sun set on the dreams and hopes of yesteryear. We must be the beacon of light which illuminates Reagan's "Shining city on a hill."
