I now have two kids of my own in college, so I know how important it is that we keep the dream alive for every family and I share the concern about rising tuition costs.
We must continue to work hard on the federal level, to make sure that our local law enforcement and communities have the tools and resources they need to fight this war against methamphetamine, and keep our kids safe.
Right now, not enough resources are dedicated to local law enforcement making sure that our communities are free of methamphetamine and drugs.
The lack of substantial resources and staffing along the Northern U.S. border poses a real security threat.

Too many vital education dollars that should be spent in the classroom are bouncing around in the federal bureaucracy.
