Favorite Quote:
Let us be sure that those who come after will say of us in our time, that in our time we did everything that could be done. We finished the race; we kept them free; we kept the faith.
Ronald Reagan.
Name one thing you would most like to do before you die:
When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me".

Reason for Seeking Public Office:
The reason for filing is symbolic. I believe that as citizens we should contribute to our country in the best way we can. This is my contribution to society. I believe I have the talent to help steer the country in a different direction. My expertise in fiscal management is greatly needed at this point in our country's history.
The answers to this country's challenges are simple. The solution is not in government programs or with the large multinational companies, it is with the common people. I truly believe that if the government provides an atmosphere that allows the people to use whatever talents they possess as individuals, our country will benefit as a whole.
