MIKE ERICKSON: IT'S TIME FOR CHANGE

"What I see going on in Washington, D.C. is unacceptable: too much partisanship and not enough solutions. We won't see change unless we elect leaders with innovative ideas who are not already part of the problem.

As a small businessman I find it inexcusable that Congress continues to over-spend and under-produce. Yet they still repeatedly vote themselves pay raises. Controlling wasteful spending, eliminating pork barrel projects and setting spending priorities are a few of my goals." – Mike Erickson

MIKE ERICKSON'S IDEAS FOR CHANGE

Mike has helped some of the largest companies in America cut costs and operate more efficiently. He will take that business experience to Congress to be a new voice for you.

Fighting Terrorism

Mike believes the primary role of government is to protect its citizens from threats, both foreign and domestic. Mike will support our troops and strengthen our borders.

Controlling Health Care Costs

Mike supports tax credits for small businesses that provide health insurance to their employees. He will pursue medical malpractice reform to cut down on lawsuit abuse that drives up medical costs.

Improving Education

Mike wants to increase accountability in our schools. He will work to provide incentives to school districts to operate more efficiently, reduce administrative costs and put more dollars into the classroom.

Helping Seniors

Mike will be an advocate for seniors in Congress. He will fight to stop Social Security funds from being raided for wasteful programs and will work to combat the rising costs of prescription medicines.
