Reason for Seeking Public Office:
I'm running for Congress because I love this Country and I know what I can do. I have over forty years of business experience and the education to match. Whether you are a Democrat, Republican, Conservative or Liberal let's not forget we are all Americans.
It's easy to criticize others for what they have or have not done, but harder to do what needs to be done. Too often, political candidates run attack campaigns for lack of their own originality. Our country needs leaders with vision, not followers. I pride myself in being just such a leader, one who deals in solutions not generalities.
Our Country is undergoing through an economic downfall the like's we've never seen before. Unlike years ago (prior to the Internet) when corrections were easy to make, we live in an age that is interdependent on global issues and those quick fixes are no longer available. The answer is simple: we need to create jobs in the private sector, anything less is just a bandaid on an open wound.
