Reason for Seeking Public Office:
Career politicians have become so detached from the reality of everyday citizens. They only live to gain power and get re-elected. They cannot make tough decisions since they are afraid to offend anyone. I'm tired of complaining about it so I am running to stand up and be held accountable for the conservative values that I hold. Government must be put back in its proper place which is non-intrusive and does not compete with the private sector.
