Favorite Quote:

"Hope has two beautiful daughters: their names are anger and courage. Anger that things are the way they are. Courage to make them the way they ought to be." - St. Augustine

Priority Issues:

I stand for high quality public schools that give every child the opportunity to succeed. I don't work for testing companies and I don't take their money. I work for you and your families.
I stand for clean air and clean water and I don't take money from special interests that jeopardize our air and water. I work for us.
I stand for safe and modern infrastructure - roads, bridges and the jobs that come with them. I don't take money from special interests who lobby for tax loopholes and refuse to pay their fair share to keep our infrastructure safe and reliable. I don't work for them. I work for you.
I stand for accountable, honest public service. I don't take money from any political party or any special interest.
