"We the people...

Somewhere along the line we stopped acting like the “United” States.  We became red and blue states, divided by the same differences that used to balance us.   Cooperation and compromise became fighting words, and our country has suffered.  I have no illusions that the road ahead will be easy. Quite the contrary, I expect it will be onerous.  So be it. I believe we can do better as a nation, and I'm committed to doing my part. Together we can do better.”

WHY I AM RUNNING

Some people are born for political theater. I do not count myself among them.  Service for others has always been at my core.  It is a deep and burning need, born from empathy. To look around and see so many of our people struggle while those in Washington live a life disconnected from the average American is infuriating. Time and time again we have seen our tax dollars misspent, misappropriated, and even stolen both here and abroad. These egregious offenses combined with disgusting and hateful rhetoric by Congressional and Senate leadership has pushed me into action.  I have decided to stop complaining and to do something about it.  This is why I am running for U. S. SENATE. Join me.  It would be my honor to serve and represent our families, our people, and our nation.  Together we will do better.
