Parrish issued the following statement regarding his bid for office:
| “ | I intend to return us to the principles that made us a vivacious and prosperous republic under President Eisenhower: focusing on education to create not only skilled workers but an enlightened society; developing and repairing our infrastructure; and not simply creating jobs but creating quality jobs, jobs that compensate our working class citizens well and enable them to be financially secure and active consumers that keep the economy running. While I am confident in myself, I shall nonetheless make it a mainstay of my campaign to seek out the concerns and knowledge of the entire community, based on a centrist agenda that will cater to conservatives, liberals, and those in between, and if you will have me as your Representative in the election next fall, I will make that a mainstay of my tenure as well. | ” |
