AAPS member, Art Coday MD is a Republican candidate for US Senate from WA, the state, not the DC. He's only been in the race for 2 months, but has been active politically for some years.

Cf. http://www.codayforussenate.com/ for more complete info.

On fiscal matters, his top priorities include:

Fiscally Responsible, Constitutionally Correct Government to Energize the Economy and Create Jobs

* Lower total government spending
* Lower tax rates
* Balance the budget
* Repay the national debt
* Avoid hyperinflation of the money supply which weakens the dollar, causes inflation, and widens the gap between rich and poor
* Audit the Federal Reserve and Government
* End the corporate bailouts and "stimulus" spending
* Insist on smaller, leaner, more efficient and more accountable government
* Government should promote business and commerce rather than squelch it with overbearing but ineffective regulations, burdensome mandates and taxes, and unconstitutional manipulation of the free marketplace
* Government policy should keep the cost of doing business in America as low as possible so that we keep and create more jobs and can produce lower priced goods and services to keep us competitive in the world marketplace

Bob Cihak, MD, AAPS director and past president
