Remarks with Republicans (Clayton Murphy)

As a Republican, what conservative values do you believe are most important when it comes to serving the people of McDonough County?

Holding true to your faith, holding true to your party.

I think that conservatism should be first everywhere.

Socialism, every time it's been tried, like they said earlier in the speeches, it's failed everywhere.

It's not a good thing at all.

I think the Republican way is the only way to be, and that's about it for that

one.

One thing Republicans often emphasize is physical responsibility.

How do you think the county can continue providing important services while being responsible with taxpayer dollars?

Just take a look at everything we're spending the money on and make sure it's not something that's going to waste, like your illegals.

We don't need to be spending money on that.

We need to be spending money on our veterans and people in the county that have done great things for the country and that have served us.

And then we need to continue to spend the money where it needs to be and not just waste it on stuff that doesn't do anything positive for everybody in the county.
