Why they are running

Heidi Workman

I am a proud conservative. I believe in freedom, limited government, low taxes, protecting life, growing our economy and creating jobs and opportunities. I have a deep appreciation for the genius of our Founding Fathers -- who gave us the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights -- especially the 2nd Amendment that guarantees all the other rights written into the fabric of our national identity.
