Reason for Seeking Public Office:

Why am I running? As an activist, I am active and have been watch dogging with others the Capitol, the bills, committees, and those the create the policies we live under. This started during the February, 2011 Occupation of our State Capitol and never stopped. I want to advocate for those that are not being helped but the economic recovery promises but instead are being asked to live with less. The homeless, tenants, part-time workers, the independents that make up a large part of our State. I keep running so that others will too. I am not giving up on this democracy experiment and will weave through the cracks the access to it, and widen those. Our governments, and all the that is attached to it is not transparent, accountability of for or to the people.
