I will commit myself to making this state an even greater place to live, work and raise a family. I intend to reach out from border to border to hear first-hand from our citizens about their thoughts, concerns and ideas for our state.

I'm thinking about governing as the governor of this state, and that's what I'm going to do.

I look forward to representing the voters of District 30 and moving the state in a new direction.

The idea of the state is, or should be, a very limited, prescribed idea. The state looks after the defense of the realm, and other matters - raising revenue to pay for things which are for all of us, and so on. That idea has turned turtle now. The state isn't any longer perceived as an institution which exists to serve us.

I'm personally committed to improving Montana's economic future.

The state of our state needs serious attention.

We want a state wise in its contemplation - just in its actions - and moderate in the reach of government into our lives.

My goal was to make New Jersey's state government a model for all other states to emulate, hopefully thereby to stem, or at least slow down, the flow of power to the federal government.

I resent Washington telling states, or the residents of those states, what to do and what to think.

I have my strong views and opinions. I really want to transform Illinois government because this state is failing the taxpayers and the children.
