Statement: As a Legislator I believe that it should be my responsibility to build a relationship of trust with the residents, cities, county and business community of the 8th Legislative District. To that end I would reach out throughout the year asking how can I help, what can I do to earn this trust?

When elected I will devote 100% of my time and efforts to making this district a better place to live, work, play, do business and retire. Good paying jobs, a sustainable economy, strong cities, an educated and trained workforce are goals where everyone benefits.
