Simmons added he wants to limit and restrict government intrusion into businesses, families, faith and communities while bringing power, control and self-governance back to the people.
“As a doctor, I fix patients,” Simmons said. “As a representative, I will fix government using those principles.”
Simmons considers himself a “Reagan conservative” and has an admiration for constitutional principles like smaller government, lower taxes and support for veterans and first responders.
“These commonsense conservative values and Founding Fathers’ spirit are alive and well in Franklin County,” Simmons said. “Local entrepreneurs and risk takers know how to grow businesses, loving parents and dedicated educators know how to educate our kids and our Christian spirit and volunteerism know how to help those in need.”
Simmons added lower taxes, less regulation and economic growth strategies like infrastructure improvements and education excellence are ways to grow jobs, grow wages and give economic opportunities and security to Franklin County.
