Priority Issues:

I am running for State Senate to represent you in 38th District. My platform is based on:

Enhancing economic development efforts;
Increasing opportunities for work force training;
Providing the very best education for Hoosier students;
Maintaining efforts to improve public infrastructure;
Staying on the cutting-edge of energy production; and
Building the Wabash Valley's reputation as a quality place to study, work and live.

Reason for Seeking Public Office:

I am running for office because I believe the state can and should live up to the values of its people.

I believe in accountability at every level. Too often I hear people pass the buck, say there is nothing they can do about a problem, that someone else caused the problem and they can't fix it. We need to bring personal accountability back to government.

I believe in accessibility and transparency. Too often legislator become out of touch with their community and the people they are supposed to serve. I am accessible now and if elected I will continue to be accessible.
