Reason for Seeking Public Office:

The Central Coast is my home and the place that has given my family and me the opportunity to succeed. I have a proven track record of bringing Republicans and Democrats together to solve problems and get results, such as preserving open spaces, creating jobs through rebuilding roads and highways, and expanding health care for our children.
In Congress, I will fight everyday to provide opportunity and security for middle-class families and protect our unique communities and natural environment. I would be honored to have your support.
