Top Priorities if Elected |   
- Our first priority must be to straighten out the State's budget mess. They have messed up the state's finances and driven our economy down.
 - Next must be the creation of a healthy business climate. We cannot create new jobs if Sacramento continues to strangle our businesses.
 - Thirdly, we must improve our health care delivery system. People either do not have health insurance or are afraid of losing what they have.
