Mike McGavick on Families & Children

Campaign focus on providing children a better & safer life

In announcing his official candidacy McGavick told voters, "I believe that we must and we can provide our state's children a better and safer life than we have enjoyed. In this spirit, I am committed to the principles that define America - that peace comes through strength, that government must be limited, and finally, recognize that the strength of America resides not in the government itself but in the families and communities that are the fabric of our Nation. I ask you now to join in this cause." Source: Campaign announcement speech (press release) Oct 26, 2005
