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.
- 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
