Reason for Seeking Public Office:

I believe we need fresh perspectives in government if we want to continue serving in the best interests of the people. We also need a representative that will balance the needs of the state with the needs of our rural communities through real action. I don't feel this has been accomplished by our current representatives and that it's time for change.
