As Republicans in Kent County…
AS KENT COUNTY REPUBLICANS, we adhere to the core Republican values of family, individual freedom and initiative, lower taxes and limited government.
WE BELIEVE the strength and dignity of our County lies with its citizens. Each individual’s dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored.
WE BELIEVE the government’s first responsibility is to keep the citizens in our County safe from crime. We must continue and strengthen the battle against the proliferation of drug trafficking and its associated crime while ensuring victims’ rights throughout the judicial process. We must be responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars.
WE BELIEVE we must provide safe, clean and orderly schools where our children learn and develop the skills necessary for tomorrow’s job market. Parents should be accountable for their child’s school attendance, homework completion and addressing behavior problems. Education receives 50% of our local tax dollars, requiring greater accountability by the Board of Education and greater local control of the curriculum. An exemplary education system will require a joint effort of parents, educators and the community.
WE BELIEVE the Chesapeake Bay deserves protection, that a healthy economy and a clean environment are not mutually exclusive. The environmental decisions and economic impact must be considered. A sensible balance must be achieved that addresses environmental concerns along with the needs and wishes of our citizens.
