Indiana State House District 9

“I have spent my life serving the community I call home. I spent more than 33 years with the Michigan City Fire Department, eventually serving as Fire Chief, and later served as President of the LaPorte County Council. I have also worked for more than 28 years as a licensed real estate broker. Today, I am proud to serve Northwest Indiana as State Representative for House District 9. My approach has always been simple: listen to people, work together, use common sense, and focus on getting results.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)

“I didn't get into public service to play politics. I got involved to help people and solve problems. From the firehouse to county government and now the Statehouse, I have worked with people from all backgrounds and both parties to deliver results. I want to continue bringing practical, community-first leadership to Indianapolis and making sure Northwest Indiana has a strong voice.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)

“Working families are being squeezed by the rising costs of housing, healthcare, utilities, childcare, and everyday necessities. I believe the state government should focus on making it easier for Hoosiers to build a good life here. That means expanding workforce housing, protecting taxpayers from costs being shifted onto them, supporting good-paying jobs, and making sure our state budget is being used to address the challenges families actually face.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)

“Too many in our state legislature are complacent and ineffective in solving our problems.” (Campaign website)
