Issues and Ideals
Skip holds conservative viewpoints, and he is an avid supporter of energy independence, by using our domestic resources such as coal, shale and nuclear power. He believes in tax incentives for those who wish to use alternative energy.

On the issue of illegal immigration, he feels the Federal Government has failed to deal with the issue, and believes in securing our border, penalizing businesses that use illegal immigrants, and supports assimilating LEGAL immigrants into the American culture.

Since he lives in the 11th District, he has suffered the effects of traffic congestion and has seen a failure by the government to adequately deal with the issue. Since, many residents of the 11th District work in Washington; traffic is an issue close to them. He believes that the government must be proactive in funding more roads, and helping to build infrastructure to handle traffic congestion, seeing it as an issue of National Security. He is often heard, "Northern Virginians cannot be held hostage by terrorists."

A conservative, he believes in smarter government. By supporting a "No New Tax" pledge, and stopping wasteful spending, he would like to balance the budget and limit government spending. He is often heard saying, "America is a force for good in the world, and to remain so, it must be economically viable." He feels the federal government must spend the taxpayer's money wisely.

He also believes in a "Jeffersonian democracy," by having citizen legislators serve their time, and return home. He is an avid opponent of career politicians, and wants to constrain the benefits that encourage people to be life-long politicians.

Campaign
Skip has organized a campaign and is currently seeking the nomination of the Republican Party for the 11th Congressional District. Calling upon his military leadership, and community service, he wants to bring New Leadership to the 11th!
