Reason for Seeking Public Office:
I want term limits for all elected officials and because of dealing with the drug situation for over 50 years, I feel I can help immensely in this area. Not enabling an addict with more drugs, but establishing vocational training and a year long rehab center to offer hope for a future. My business experience will assist me in some projects in District 5 that can bring in better paying jobs and hopefully better roads.
