Reason for Seeking Public Office:

"You ask why? ‒‒The Federal Government is an out of control freight train, the President is taking over and the Congress is inert. Obviously, things have to change!! But why me? I have a long record of thinking outside the box and getting things done. Those who know me can assure you of that.

I am not your typical political operator. My presence will be felt‒here and in Washington. I am short on idle promises and soaring rhetoric. I prefer straight answers and rock solid logic. I will not be intimidated by politicians and like so many of our people I am totally disgusted by the lack of leadership. Stay tuned, you won't be bored but you will get straight answers that make sense‒Imagine that !

Spouse's Occupation:

Retired nurse and author.
