Welcome

Thank you for visiting our Website! I believe you will find it to be informative as it shares with you my vision for Alabama as your next State Treasurer. The people of Alabama honored me twice by electing me their State Treasurer, and during those years I worked hard initiating and implementing programs to enhance the quality of life for our people. As many of you know, we worked to establish the PACT Program twenty years ago and it has been a sterling success for our state in saving Alabama families thousands of dollars in sending their children to college. Having worked to start our program, and given the difficulties it has experienced due to the recent stock market meltdown and double digit tuition increases, I would very much like to dedicate myself to working with the Alabama legislature to make certain those contracts purchased are honored. Beyond the moral, legal and contractual obligations, it is a matter of honor for the State of Alabama to keep its word.

In addition, my dedication of purpose will be to work as we did before to find ways to help the business sector in Alabama, especially the small business community. Given that over 80% of the jobs in our state and nation are associated with small business, it is incumbent to find ways to help small businesses in starting up and expanding. The Linked Deposit Program we implemented while serving you before was extremely successful in that regard. Given the attitude of this administration in Washington D.C. toward the business community and our banking institutions, we must do all we can at the state level to mitigate the damage they continue to do with their borrowing, spending and tax policies.

I have a solid record of exposing government corruption which we did while serving you before when we uncovered a pork palace called “Technology Plus” which was a conduit where tax payer dollars were sent to a shell operation employing friends of powerful politicians in Montgomery, who never performed any work. Some powerful people were convicted and the tax payers won. I will be as vigilant as before in looking for waste and abuse of your money. No wonder the distrust and cynicism about many in political power has reached the depths of which it has. Rest assured I will protect your money.

The people of Alabama and throughout the country have developed a deep distrust of many in public office, and I feel it everywhere I travel. There is a genuine concern about a movement away from what our Founding Fathers intended, and the values that have made our country great. At the same time, there is a determination to fight to preserve that which has made us great as we are the bastion of hope for the world.   I will fight for you in every way, and if you elect me I will serve you with, honesty, integrity and innovative thought, and with God’s help I will make you a good State Treasurer.
