First I would like to mention that I am not a "career politician", nor am I an attorney.  My roots are in law enforcement where I honed my people skills as a mediator and delegate of the law.  It is my belief that running for a political office is probably the most scrutinizing job interview anyone can be involved in.  So please feel free to take a closer look at who I am.

Secondly, I am running as an independent candidate. My reasoning for this is because I feel the two primary parties do not represent my views, and more importantly, the views of most people.  If you say Democrat, most people think you're a liberal.  If you say Republican, most people think you're a conservative.  To be either of these labels does not fit where I stand.  These two parties have become one extreme or the other.  I believe most people are a little liberal and a little conservative, yet mostly make decisions based on the issue, rather than a political label of conservative or liberal.

Finally, if I am elected, it is my goal to work with both conservatives and liberals to find a common ground that best represents the interests of my district and my constituents, the people!  Far too often politicians pander to lobbyists, large contributors to their campaign and special interest groups that have nothing to do with the people they are elected to represent.  A vote for me is a vote for yourself.  I will do my best to represent you in every possible way I can.  These are not false promises, this is my mission. 

In the future, I will be establishing several lines of communication through my web site so that anyone with any concerns may contact me directly.  Some of these features will be a blog section, live chats and direct email forms so that every citizen has the opportunity to be heard.  These features will be available in the near future, so please check back regularly.
