Reason for Seeking Public Office:

Our great State is in need for strong and competent leadership. I believe that my background is tailor made to address the issues that currently threaten our freedom. School security and random active shootings, opioid and dangerous drugs and the need to stand strong on our second amendment right. I have a plan to address these problems.
