Issue Position: My Philosophy

Issue Position

I believe that voters want a representative who is interested in solving problems. Scoring political points isn't a way to fix anything. Neither is playing partisan politics. Honestly, there just isn't time for that.

During my first term, I worked hard to find consensus with colleagues from across the aisle. I voted my conscience and in keeping with the interest of the community I represent. I believe that's what the voters of the district wanted me to do. It is how I intend to perform for as long as I am in public life.

Excessive partisanship is much better at killing good ideas than it is at solving problems. If an idea is a good one and improves our state, it should be supported no matter who proposed it. We'd all be much better off remembering that Republicans and Democrats don't need to be enemies; instead, we should be colleagues who come together to make government work.
