Answer from Shamed Dogan:

I am running for State Representative to help return the Republican Party to its small government conservative roots.

Answer from Shamed Dogan:

I will work to keep both taxes and spending low because I trust the people with their money more than politicians and bureaucrats. I will be an effective advocate for small business and job creation. And I will do everything possible to reduce the threat posed by illegal immigration.
