McCOOk- At a candidate forum hosted by KICX radio, District 38 incumbent Dave Murman made his case to voters ahead of next week's election day.

Dave Murman spoke on multiple topics at the forum without opposition as challenger Tyler Cappel was not there.

Murman told the gathering that progress had been made in property tax relief during his first four-year term in office. Two years ago, his personal priority bill was to offer a state income tax credit for 25 percent of property taxes paid for K-12 education districts, which was passed. Last year, the legislature passed his personal priority bill to accelerate that tax credit to 30 percent.

Murman said workforce attraction goes hand-in-hand with tax policy. He said infrastructure and broadband expansion should be used with federal money “being shoveled” out of Washington.

He believes he will have a high position on the Education Committee in the next session if he is re-elected and the election goes well for other conservatives throughout the state. On the Education Committee, he wants to keep comprehensive sex education and critical race theory out of schools.

A high position on the Education Committee would also possibly give him a seat on the Revenue Committee, where he would like to find other methods for funding schools and lowering property taxes.
