On the recordMay 17, 1994
When I came home from college a number of years ago to western Oklahoma and became reinvolved in my community and continued my farming business, I looked around and felt at that time that we could expect more of our State government. And being an idealistic soul, I charged off down the trail to do something about it, be it the concepts of reform, or being accountable to the taxpayers dollars, or with the effectiveness of government. Now, after having offered myself to them as their potential Congressman, they chose to send me to work among you, and I think no doubt probably on many of those same issues, striving for more ethical Government, striving for more reforms to make Government more efficient, trying to limit the Government's involvement in their lives, be it through their pocketbook or their purse, and I appreciate that.
