He believes in working neighbor-to-neighbor to get things done.
When Donald Trump began threatening our fundamental rights, Paul decided to organize his neighbors to take action with Indivisible. What began with a handful of people has grown to a movement thousands strong with our local group, standing together for our freedoms.
No matter our differences, we all want to live in a neighborhood with safe streets, good schools, and an affordable future here. And Paul believes that, as neighbors, we need to fight for those things together. As a lifelong education advocate, Paul has worked directly with this community’s leaders and families – he understands what his neighbors care about and is rooting his campaign in their concerns about the place where they live.
As State Representative, Paul will continue engaging his neighbors – listening, learning, and leading on the issues they care about most. No one will work harder to bring our voices to Springfield.
Springfield needs new energy – and this community needs a State Representative who will fight for more effective, responsive, and fiscally responsible government.- Keeping our streets safe from crime
- Making life more affordable
- Standing up to a federal government intent on destroying our freedom
