Reason for Seeking Public Office:

I ran for the House of Representatives for District 78 because I care deeply about our community. Our community is a great place to live and work. I cherish this community, and I can't stand by any longer and watch while our quality of life fades away due to ineffective and divisive politics. In bad times, good people must step forward.
