Reason for Seeking Public Office:
I am running for Senate because...
- Rutland County has long been overlooked by Montpelier.
- We need an economic development plan that gets results and isn't just left on the drawing board.
- A solution to the drug epidemic requires funding, not just talk.
- Our children deserve to have options when they graduate from our schools.
