Reason for Seeking Public Office:

Are you happy with what is happening at our Federal Government level? Why not? Is it the overspending? Constant overreaching legislation? The empty promises?

I have watched our Government trample on American citizens through bullying techniques and unwarranted, intrusive legislation long enough. "We the People" run this country, and yet it seems we no longer have a voice.

Enough is enough! I have dedicated my entire life to the service of others, oftentimes at great personal sacrifice. I will continue to serve others regardless of the opposition and regardless of any attempt to undermine or otherwise sabotage me or my efforts in representing Southwest Missouri and its conservative, Christian values. I cannot and will not be a bought and paid for bureaucrat. It is time the people take control of the Government and remind Washington that it is the citizens who run this country.

I believe this election is about you! It is about your voice! It is not about me or anyone else in Washington. I promise that my service will always be about the people, just as it has been for the last twenty-eight years. I will ensure that you are heard and your voice matters. This is, after all, what a Representative is supposed to be, A REPRESENTATIVE of the PEOPLE!
