I am running for state representative because of my desire to improve the lives of all people in our state, especially those less fortunate. Now, more than ever, our state's institutions, leaders, and residents need to be committed to the betterment of all people; as a state representative and public leader, I aim to meet this goal. We must move away from partisan or divisive politics that are a detriment to us individually and to our state as a whole. Instead, we must work to solve our common problems and improve our state’s quality of life for all people. To do this, I will continue to focus on improving the effectiveness and accountability of state services and to increase people's trust in our government. This is especially important in light of the successes of several initiatives. An upset public is demanding better services at lower costs and government must respond. Next, we need to continue to work to improve our state’s business climate with regards to improving the lives of all its citizens and their communities. In addition, my experience both working and volunteering in the public schools has convinced me that having an educational system (both teachers and management) that is anything less than the best will harm our state’s future. I have been working to set up school management reform and policies that will encourage this. Lastly, we need to come up with a long-term fix for our structural budget problems. Presently, critical human services, educational and criminal justice programs, which improve the lives of all state residents, face a grave crisis. We need to insure that we have a business environment focused on solving these problems. |

1. You must listen and learn from constituents, staff, lobbyists, and peers. I spend a significant amount of time listening and learning from all around me. It is very important to be open, not just to new goals or ideas, but to be able to recognize and admit that you may be mistaken or wrong in both policy and execution. 2. To develop policy and pass legislation. A significant amount of my time is spent turning ideas/concerns from constituents or to work in collaboration with other groups to develop bills and to pass legislation that will improve our state. My strongest passion is in this area. 3. Assist people (both constituent and non-constituents) with their problems and concerns. This may involve anything from helping with a local government issue, to a problem with a state agency, to providing some technical information. |
