Growing up in the White Mountains, I learned how to do more with less. As a local small business owner, I learned the value of a dollar and the importance of living within your means. I also learned what a critical role our small businesses play in creating local jobs and building a sense of community.

I am fighting to bring these values to Washington to restore fiscal responsibility, balance our budget and create jobs. The federal government is going to have to start doing more with less – just as communities in rural Arizona have always done.
