I am a common sense Independent who puts people above party. I’m tired of all the back biting and mud slinging coming from the partisans in Madison. It’s time for our state elected officials to work together to address the important issues of the day. In his farewell message to the country, our first President, George Washington, advised against forming political parties. We may be 225 years late, but it’s time to heed Washington’s advice! The Alaska State House has 4 Independent legislators serving in a 40 member body. It’s time to bring a bit of Alaska to Wisconsin.
  • I’m a Common Sense Independent who will reflect the common views of the majority living in the 27th district
  • I believe in putting the views of the public above the views of political parties.
  • I believe in putting the views of the people above the views of the special interests.
I’m tired of telling people “we have the best government money can buy”. It’s time to eliminate all special interest money in politics. Contributions to political campaigns should come only from individuals.

I’m tired of seeing the foxes design the hen houses. We need an independent non partisan commission to draw legislative district lines in the state of Wisconsin.

We need term limits to encourage more people to run for public office while still allowing quality representatives to seek higher office.
