Statement: It’s been an honor serving you and I’m proud of my track record of listening and standing up for our communities. Working with Republicans and Democrats, we invested in reducing class sizes, expanded early learning programs, and actually cut college tuition.

I’m the father of two and prioritize keeping our communities safe. I implemented nationally acclaimed DUI laws, reducing alcohol-related deaths, authored landmark legislation to protect domestic violence victims and seniors from elder abuse, and supported policies to ensure equal pay for women. Let’s keep putting good ideas to work for you! I respectfully ask for your vote.
