Joe Kent is a tax expert, business owner, community leader, youth advocate and faith leader.

Joe opposes tax increases and is the only treasurer candidate to sign the American’s For Tax Reform Pledge against higher taxes. 

Joe believes in spending restraint and balanced budgets.  Tax revenues represent sacred funds paid by hard-working individuals and families and should be treated that way by those with spending authority. 

Joe is 100 percent pro-life from conception to natural death.  He is married to his college sweetheart and a proud father.  His parents both lived into their 90s with Joe and his siblings at their side through every joy and challenge. 

Joe believes that private property rights are foundational to the United States and must be protected from overzealous bureaucrats. 

 Joe is a fierce advocate for openness in government, especially as it relates to financial reporting.  Uses of tax dollars should be fully disclosed in a timely and understandable manner. 

 Joe understands that America's Constitution was written to limit the reach of the Federal Government, and that powers not specifically granted to the Federal Government belong to the States.
