Reason for Seeking Public Office:

I feel that their are MANY people in West Michigan who are disillusioned with the current "two party system". They can no longer relate to either the Democrats who are pushing through legal (though not Constitutional) channels, a liberal agenda. They can no longer relate to Republicans who talk of "smaller government" then increase spending and the deficit through continued expansion of our military industrial complex and erode our personal and civil liberties for our own "protection". I will actively remind the people in government of their limitations as stated in the Constitution and will truly fight to reform our elected officials to their rightful place as servants to the people.
