A NOTE FROM DON...
It is my honor and privilege to serve as the voice of
the 118th District in the Kansas House of Representatives. As a
lifelong resident of Western Kansas, I understand well the issues and
concerns of rural Kansas. I work hard to provide a strong voice for the
118th District on the issues that reflect our core values. Among
those core values are:
·
Rural communities that are safe, rewarding
places to live
·
Opportunity for economic growth and prosperity
·
Strong public school systems
·
Respect for private property rights
I believe in the special worth of
each individual… that every person possesses unique God-given gifts and the
potential to succeed. The greatest help that government can give to its
citizens is to enable them to succeed, rather than making them
dependent upon government for their needs. Individual initiative works for
the betterment of the individual and society, and must not be extinguished.
Free market private enterprise is
the engine that drives our economy. Governmental regulation is sometimes
necessary, but must always be minimized, because regulation by its very
nature constrains innovation, stifles initiative, and strangles the
economy. I believe that private enterprise delivers most all goods and
services more effectively and efficiently than government, and that the
responsibility of government is to provide those services that private
enterprise cannot.
I believe that the people will spend their money more responsibly than will
government, and that taxation must always be broad-based and equitable.
