- Like most of you I am tired in watching, experiencing the direction we as a society are being pushed. Someone who is one of us, the ordinary everyday working to support their family has to standup and run to represent us - right now that person is me.
- I have a plan of action to address the onslaught of crime which has infested our communities, reverse the attacks on parental rights, address the homeless situation with more than just talk and token projects, there is more visit my website: ThomBogue4StateSenate.com
- I have at one time lived homeless, drug use and recovery in my youth. Only to rise up accomplish owning my own successful business and elected 3 times to City Council, twice as councilman and once as mayor. I am experienced, honest and determined.
It is our job to be the liaison between those we represent and governmental activities. It is our job to stand up equally for the individual as any who would stand up for a group. It is our job to be a barrier in the way way of any who would infringe on our Constitutional rights and personal freedoms.
