Favorite Quote:

"I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong." -Abraham Lincoln

Reason for Seeking Public Office:

I've been involved in the community for many years. To increase my effectiveness, I made the decision to further develop my leadership skills. During my leadership training I began to see the important role that state government can play in the development of local communities. I realized that I could effect change and began to feel a duty to help put this district on the path to job growth.
