Reason for Seeking Public Office:
I have decided to run for U. S. Congress in the 4th District in 2016 because we need changes in Washington. I want to help bring jobs back to America, improve our infrastructure, protect Social Security and Medicare, support our military and Veterans, and stop the grid lock in Congress. I also want to close the loop holes for billionaires that have protected the "super rich" while destroying America's "middle class."
