Reason for Seeking Public Office:
I am running for State House because "all it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing". I cannot remain silent while our history, traditions and institutions are under assault. The Federal government has usurped so much power from the States that it barely resembles a Representative Republic. People of faith with conviction in our families, freedom and limited government must stand united.
The federal government will not give back its power willingly; change will have to come from the States. The only chance we have of righting the ship is to elect Constitutionalists at every level of government. We must elect representatives who have the knowledge, passion and courage to fight! I do, I have and I will!
