“I am very troubled by what I see happening in America and strongly believe that part of the problem is the disconnect that has transpired between the people and government. We have a government by, of and for the people, but if they are not part of it, then it cannot function correctly. I have worked hard to connect the people back in and teaching them how to be involved. I stand and take the arrows to protect our freedoms and to be a voice for my constituents.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
