Statement: Sitting in traffic for hours, knowing there are better solutions to our transportation mess, convinced me to run! There is an urgent need for smarter, cost-effective transportation and education spending, especially with budget and tax challenges affecting education.  

Education solutions require the governor, teachers’ union and legislators work together. This means an end to closed door negotiations; they must be open and transparent. The dual mission for transportation is clear: reduce congestion; offer less expensive and more convenient mass transit. I will never support income or capital gains taxes, as we cannot keep raising taxes for government irresponsibility.
