With professional experience in local law enforcement, as a public school teacher, a small business owner, and in the public business sector in management and consulting roles; I bring a wide scope and vision for addressing the many issues that tear at the fabric of our society.
I have watched as politicians from both sides of the aisle have made promises and failed repeatedly to make good on them. In our rural communities farmers have been left by the wayside as land sits idle, input costs skyrocket, and returns dwindle. In our towns and cities communities are left behind as factories close and small businesses have to fight tooth and nail to survive. Kids graduate and move away. Access to retail and food stores are a haul. Local schools go underfunded, overcrowded, and in need of costly repairs.
In short not only do we deserve better but better is possible with leadership willing to fight for the communities we call home, answer to the people, and not only say what they mean but mean what they say.
We may not always agree, but I'll always listen and work to achieve the best outcomes for everyone. Ideology can separate us but on the details I've found that we often agree.
I love our home and I humbly ask that you support me in my mission to deliver for our area, our families, and our future.- The cost of living is outrageous, out of touch, unnecessary, etc.
I will always put people over corporate profits and that is going to make me a lot of wealthy opposition.
I will work tirelessly to solve the affordability crisis gripping the nation.
We shouldn't be faced with the decision to put gas in the car to get to work or get groceries for the week. Kids shouldn't show up to school tired and hungry. Families should be able to afford quality child care.
The list goes on but life is meant to be lived and we shouldn't have the joy of life squeezed out of us just to survive. - Healthcare should not be an economic system. In the United States a medical issue should never bankrupt someone. Insurance companies should not profit billions of dollars off the hard working people simply trying to survive or have a say in what procedure or medication you can have. Most importantly, medical decisions are between the patient and the physician. Politicians have more than enough to worry about instead of attempting to legislate what someone can and cannot do with their body.
- Education and opportunity. These two things can and will solve almost every ill we get hung up on. Fully funded public education, affordable college/university education, skilled trade training and apprenticeships. Each of these leads to a top of the line work force, innovators and innovation, job creation, and a thriving economy. When people succeed, we succeed. Success keeps families together and crime decreases. When petty crime decreases as a way of survival, violence and addiction shrink. Fully fund public education and watch us take off.
We must be out in the communities we represent for more than photo-ops and small group speeches. Hold regular regional office hours, be approachable, hold regular town halls across the district.
I support a limit on consecutive terms. Say 4 terms in the House, a total of 8 years, you could then run for higher or lower office but not for US House again. After 2 terms, 4 years, you could be eligible again. This is just an example that could apply to other offices.
States would then be left to maintain voter files according to Social Security records and voter registration should no longer be a weapon of suppression.
As for the act of casting ballots there should be independent state boards responsible for redistricting and administering elections where votes are cast on paper and tabulated by electronic readers that will allow for hand, visual recount and audits.
