Reason for Seeking Public Office:
I never sought public office. I am about Public Service. In my time living in Port, I have tried to help as many people I could. I volunteered for countless Community events and never said no to charity. I didn't always have disposable income so I gave my time instead.
God truly blessed me with an amazing wife and family. I'm not rich, but I always had enough. Life is good, so I give back. 10 years ago, I was asked to run for Police Commissioner because of that attitude. For 9 years I served with only the best interest of the people in mind. When I lost my last election, I thought I was done. But then I was asked to run for State Senate. I will bring that same attitude of people first to the job. We are all in this together, and together we can do amazing things.
We are all born with greatness in us, and I believe it is the job of any Government Representative to enable the people to find that greatness. If elected I will do just that. I will be here to serve you. I will be your voice in Albany, and I will do everything I can to make our District and the State a better place to live. People over Politics will always be what drives me.
