Welcome to vote-hodgkinson.org
Dear Friends:
My goal is to be a resource for you, your family, your neighbors, and your
business. I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to represent you in the
Kansas Senate. I promise to always work hard to earn your respect and your
vote.
I am running for the State Senate because my vision for Kansas is a safe and healthy community in which individuals, families, and businesses can thrive and grow.
As Senator, I will work with everyone to unite and focus
our priorities and resources on the values we share: individuals, families,
and local businesses enjoying a safe and sustainable community. These values
make Kansas a great place. If we embrace Kansas's opportunities for change,
we can make it even better.
My goal in public service?
To be a "public servant" by using today technology so that EVERY
voter has access to their elected officials and the political process. I
will work hard by telling you how I vote and why, and if bills passed or
failed, and why.
Democrats and Republicans -- liberals, conservatives and
moderates -- all have some plan to run your life. They believe "there
ought to be a law." Government officials pass law after law, tax after
tax, and regulation after regulation. Politicians and bureaucrats want power
over our lives. They don't care whether their plans work or not -- as long
as they have "good intentions." That threat is use of the coercive
powers of government, under the color of law, to take the rightful property
of some people and give to others, and the forcible imposition of the will
of one group of people on another group. Such acts, most often done in the
name of good, explain the ugliest portions of human history.
"Libertarianism is a vision of how people should be able to live their lives as individuals, striving to realize the best they have within them; together, cooperating for the common good without compulsion. It is a vision of how people may endow their lives with meaning living according to their deepest beliefs and taking responsibility for the consequences of their actions."
The other candidates in all other parties want to run your life; they want more and bigger government. I am the candidate who wants less, much less. Big government has failed. I will defend the rights of the individual against the power of the state.
If you are a freedom-loving individual, if you're sick and
tired of the same old politics as usual, join me in this vitally important
campaign.
"A wise and frugal
government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall
leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and
improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has
earned - This is the sum of good government."
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
