Anyone that’s met or interacted with me knows that when addressing challenges, I want to understand the reasons behind policy decisions & have empathy for how families and individuals are impacted. I welcome hard conversations b/c they need to be had.

I’m proud and excited for the bipartisan support I’ve received - from republicans, independents and democrats. They know that as a father, I care about the education of our kids and a strong public school system. They know that as a husband, brother, and uncle that I want us as families to make our decisions and limit government overreach into our personal lives.
