Calloway and Trigg counties face the same political issues as others throughout Kentucky. Our economy and our children and grandchildren’s futures are at stake. We need to reform our system in many areas. First, we should reshape the Commonwealth’s antiquated individual and corporate tax system and remove bureaucratic regulations that stifle our businesses. Equally as important, we should reapportion education funding to reward good schools and teachers. Finally, our main focus should be to limit government spending and reign in administrative costs.
I’ve been dedicated to public service all of my life, both as a funeral director and elected official. My goal has been to create positive changes in the lives of people. My service in my profession and as a four-term state representative, chairman of the House State Government Committee, deputy Secretary of the Natural Resources and Environment Cabinet, and county magistrate has enabled me to help individuals, families, business owners, and workers. After prayer, consultation with my family, and much encouragement from others, I have decided to again run for 5th District State Representative to speak for the people of Calloway and Trigg counties in the Kentucky House.
As a former legislator, I sponsored and/or supported major legislation that removed the sales tax from essential groceries, prescription medicines, and farm equipment. I also helped to enact the Homestead Exemption Act. As a deputy cabinet secretary, I blocked several attempts by the federal government and EPA to enforce unneeded and unnecessary regulations on many of Kentucky’s industries and farming operations.
Although I don’t necessarily like talking about fundraising, it is an integral part of running for public office. In order to run an aggressive campaign, I need your support. Your contribution, made payable to Imes for Representative, will enable our campaign to surge ahead quickly and make this race successful so we can get down to reclaiming our Commonwealth. Please review the enclosed reply form and return it with your contribution–today–in the enclosed envelope. Together, we can and will shout out a message of urgency to turn around our ailing budget and breathe life back into our economic future. We will ensure the 5th House District gets the strong voice and effective leadership it deserves in Frankfort and that you have a representative who is ready and willing to listen to your concerns and not try to tell you how to act or think.
