Why are you running?

To continue to work together with others to make needed improvements in our communities and Commonwealth.


I love and respect the people and the area of the Second Franklin. I know that we are making the needed progress and have much more to do to address improvements in jobs, education, environment, and our communities and society.

I have the requisite skills, incumbent knowledge, broad relationships, and tenacious leadership skills, and I want to continue to utilize these for the greater good and the families of our district.

I also want to continue to bring respectful, bold, and progressive leadership to public office and campaigning so that negative campaigning and the tearing down of others and political parties stop.

We need to continue to build up our nation, one relationship, one comment, one community at a time. People have had enough of "we vs. they" politics and ineffective government and leadership that they cannot believe in.
