Reason for Seeking Public Office:

I am running for State Assembly for one reason- the New Jersey that I chose as my home when I emigrated to the United States is nearly unrecognizable to me. Crushing taxes, burdensome regulation, and a state government seeming to run only for the benefit of a few special interests have put the state we all love in jeopardy. The bottom line is that for the sake of your family- and mine- I cannot sit idly by while our state moves ever closer to fiscal ruin.
