KEY LEGISLATION

It is crucial that we keep a strong conservative with knowledge of the legislative process and desire to improve the economy and healthcare of our citizens, while fighting to protect our constitutional and God-given rights.

• Fully funded public pensions.
• Put “In God We Trust” back in our schools.
• Funded the School Safety Act, putting the safety of our children and school employees first.

• Served on the Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Systems Taskforce; one of Derek’s top priorities is ensuring people have clean drinking water. 
• Protected Freedom of Speech on college campuses.
