I am just a regular guy, I get my hands dirty at work and come home tired.


Like many of us I worry about paying the mortgage, fixing the car and keeping the grass mowed.


I am running to represent you because, like many, I believe I am not being represented, and that I don't have a seat at the table, and that many elected officials are more concerned about appealing to wealthy donors and staying in power.


If you believe in getting money out of politics, making health care affordable and building a more equitable economy that grows prosperity for everyone then I invite you to join me in building a future we can all look forward to.
  • I am a voice for working people and farmers who are not represented at our Capitol
  • Government is the people and people are the government the more involved we are the more responsive are elected officials will be,
  • The most important position in a democracy is that of a citizen
Getting unlimited money out of politics, fully funding education, revitalizing rural economy's and making health care affordable
Dwight D Eisenhower was an excellent bi-partisan leader who was moderate Republican who continued new deal economic policy's and warned of the dangers of the military industrial complex.
I worked at men's clothing store selling suits for 2 and a half years while in high school.
