Reason for Seeking Public Office:
I am seeking election because our legislature is broken. The current majority has focused its version of sacrifice on seniors, working people, children, and the poor. The legislation coming through the chambers are along party lines, legislators and the public are being shunned from deliberative discussion, due diligence is not being practiced and voters are being prevented from having a say on issues, election fraud from the elected has run ramped while laws have been focusing on the almost non-existence of individual fraud, and compromise is squashed by pushing legislation through too quickly and making it effective immediately.
