Priority Issues:

Preserving public education, infrastructure and services, such as public libraries
Building sustainable energy, water and food infrastructure
"Main Street, not Wall Street"

Reason for Seeking Public Office:

I'm a product of small-town Kansas in a time when people didn't lock their doors and everyone knew who you were, who your family was, and where you lived. I want to use my experience and passion to make things better for the "rest of us", those without power and connections. I promise to be that voice and to back it up with everything I can muster, to make positive changes in the lives of everyday Kansans.
