Reason for Seeking Public Office:
"I am running for State Representative in House District 52 first because I have come to believe that the State of Oregon is going in the wrong direction. I am increasingly concerned about the depressed business climate of our state and government actions that are stifling our economy and hindering job creation. I am concerned with the calloused disrespect for private property rights Democrats in Salem have demonstrated and the propensity many legislators have for raising taxes as their first response to every problem.".
