Reason for Seeking Public Office:

People have asked me 'why I am running?' It's really very simple, I want to make a positive difference in our community.

Too many times, politicians seek elected office for the wrong reasons. They look at being in office as an opportunity for personal accomplishment. To me, being an elected official is about service, being a voice for your community, and
protecting their interests.

Fighting to protect senior citizens, reigning in excessive spending, streamlining regulations, keeping taxes low, and improving our roads are critical for economic growth and individual prosperity.

While fighting for these issues, I'll serve with integrity, honor, and dignity. I'm a principled, conservative leader who's inclusive and will represent all our residents.

As your next State Senator, I'll be a problem solver and work to get things done for you.
