Favorite Author:

Helen MacInnes, who wrote 22 books on World War II and cold war espionage.

Favorite Type of Music:

Classical music: baroque, classical, and romantic era music. Also like traditional Irish and Scottish music.

Priority Issues:

1. Repeal the tax cuts of 2012 & 2013 and return revenues to what is needed to provide the services Kansans expect from their government. 2. Restore full funding to our public schools. 3. Expand Medicaid services under the provisions of the ACA. 4. Establish automatic voter registration.

Reason for Seeking Public Office:

For the past 4 years, Kansas has been under the control of anti-government Tea Party Republicans, who brought the state to financial ruin. They have tried to employ "Trickle down economics", and have cut services that are hurting the poor and vulnerable in our great state. I wish to join other, more moderate Democrats and Republicans to restore financial sanity to our state.
