Please take a moment to explore my website and learn a little about me. I am so proud to be representing the people of the 12th district. Do not hesitate to contact me with questions or thoughts.
Mike works with small business owners everyday. These business owners work hard to employee people, give to their communities and provide economic stability to communities they operate in. It is imperative that the State does their part to ensure the economic successes of our district. This is accomplished through balancing the state budget while promoting and protecting economic development opportunities and our state competitiveness rankings. We need to reduce regulatory red tape and paperwork burdens facing employers.
We need to make sure the regulatory environment and tax policies in our state make running a business and employing people possible.
