Issue Position: Public Service

Issue Position

I would like to thank everyone for giving me the chance to serve as your State Representative.
First off I want to say I am here to represent the people of Reno County and not special interests. As I have visited with you in my door to door campaign a number of issues have been raised. The following are a few of them and my thoughts about them. I need to know your position so I can represent you in Topeka, henceforth, my slogan, "Your voice in Topeka, Your choice in November".
I'm here because of my commitment to my community and to Reno County. As a fourth generation farmer, I've been in business myself for over 30 years. I have been involved in elected offices for the last 25 years. I served 12 years on the USD 311 school board in Pretty Prairie, several of those years as President. I also spent 4 years on the ESSDACK board in Hutchinson, 6 years on the board of Bell Credit Union in Hutchinson, Chairman of United Way of Reno County for Southwestern Bell, past president of the Telephone Pioneers of America Southwest Council and the St. Rose Church board and church council.
I currently serve on the board of Ark Valley Electric Coop. in South Hutchinson and the Kansas Electric Power Coop. board in Topeka. I am the treasurer for Ninnescah Township and on my church finance committee. I am also a member of Farm Bureau, Future Farmers of America, Pretty Prairie Booster Club and other numerous clubs and organizations. I have a vast amount of leadership skills as demonstrated by my community involvement.
As your State Representative, my platform consists of the 3 E's: Education, Economic Development and Energy. I hope you take the time to read my commentary and if you have any questions, comments, or thoughts you would like to share, please e-mail me and I will get back with you.
