By redirecting our focus away from exclusionary and discriminatory social issues and toward the core issues in the county, we can deliver results for our district residents and improve their quality of life.
To do that,we need to be a more welcoming commonwealth, one where our residents are valued for who they are, not singled out because of their religion, race, gender,sexual orientation, disability or any other inherent identifier.
I'm campaigning as a practical consensus-builder whose legislative role models growing up were Sen. Colgan (D) and the late Del. Harry Parrish (R-50). You didn't have to agree with them on every issue to respect them and acknowledge the results they delivered for their communities.
