  • A small business owner for 39 years running WCVH Landscaping and Property Management.

ISSUES

  • Van Helmond would like to provide long term solutions for taxpayers by looking at line items in the state budget to make sure they are running efficiently and cost effectively.

  • He wants to help run state government like a small business because he believes owners spend within their means instead of borrowing.

  • Van Helmond wants to remove corruption within state elected positions by setting term limits to reduce people becoming fixtures and gaining or obtaining too much power in those jobs.
