Candidacy Statement:
I am seeking re-election because our state needs public servants who are willing to tackle the tough issues and cast the difficult votes to do what is best for all. My record has shown a willingness to address those concerns that others are unwilling to take on. Because of the support of the voters in my district, I have risen to a postion of leadership and serve as Speaker Pro Tem and chair of the Health and Human Service Committee in the House. I love my job working for the citizens of our state, and desire to continue to work for you.
