- Families Are The Basis Of Our Government
-
A strong family will result in a strong government. Where government has eroded the families rights, the family has suffered and has cost we the taxpayers for their "do good " attitude.
- Ecconomic Development
-
Yuma's economy is made up of three parts. first and largest is the Agricultural industry. It is over 40% of the total economy of the area. The environmental problems that have been thrust on them in the past few years is causing major concern. Next and almost equal is the Military and tourism. The two bases, MCAS and YPG, are uder constant threat of being closed down by the (BRAC) process. Unemployment in Yuma is and has been the highest in the State for over sixteen years. New jobs are needed.
- Education
-
In the next few years the "Baby Boomer" teachers will be retiring leaving a big hole in education nationwide. We rank at or near the bottom on many studies on teachers pay. We need to correct this so we can properly educate our children
