3rd District GOP front runners focus on spending
Patricia Lightner and Kevin Yoder lead GOP hopes for 3rd District Congress, each highlighting the economy, health care reform, and shrinking federal spending. Lightner pushes zero-based budgeting and a balanced budget amendment, calls for reforms to health care and stronger border security, while Yoder backs tax cuts, targeted growth, defunding the current health law, and market based health care changes. Both emphasize limiting federal power and boosting state rights to curb spending.
