People are tired of losing. They want someone who can win this race, and they believe I am the one who can do that.

That's an important message because state government is so far off track.

You have a lack of basic management controls. I have a complete lack of confidence in the management of our state government.

I will work to attract and support great teachers and principals to our schools, and push to remove unacceptable ones.

My campaign is about my platform.

Spending is up; services are down.

What this party needs is new leadership; I am that candidate.

Republicans want to win. There is a view among Republicans that it's time to have a new candidate.

We're simply not going to be able to deal with education or public safety or any of the other issues satisfactorily if we haven't reformed state government and got both its costs and its service delivery changed.
