Revitalizing Shreveport through Conservative Principles

Individual Freedom

Jim knows his foremost responsibility as City Councilman is not to infringe on our God-given rights. Any and all proposed legislation must first pass that test before earning his vote. That's why he was a key vote against the expansion of speed cameras outside of school zones.

Limited Government

Jim understands that local government's main purpose is to foster a safe and business-friendly environment. That's why he opposes new taxes and burdensome regulations on City Council.

The Rule of Law

As the former President of the Caddo-Bossier Domestic Violence Task Force, Jim believes everyone has the right to work, play and pray without fear of violence. That's why he co-authored a resolution calling for a more than 75 percent reduction in the paperwork required to get a protective order.

Peace Through Strength

As a former Shreveport police sergeant, Jim believes in implementing the conservative principle of peace through strength at the local level by recruiting the best and brightest to protect our citizens. That's why Jim has repeatedly supported pay increases for Shreveport police officers.

Fiscal Responsibility

As a fiscal conservative, Jim understands that our city government must operate within its means and focus on the basic responsibilities to the people it exists to serve: our citizens. That's why he voted against the establishment of the new, salaried position of Clerk of Council.

Free Markets

As a licensed realtor and small business owner, Jim knows full well that the best way for individuals and businesses to succeed is for the government to simply get out of the way.

Human Dignity

As a Christian, Jim firmly believes that every human life has inherent value and is made in the image of God. He believes in treating everyone with dignity and respect -- including the unborn.
