"For years our state legislature has been cutting revenue streams while refusing to curtail spending. Now we face a budget crisis unprecedented in our state's history along with an overwhelming need for services. This has become a vicious cycle of balancing give and take. We need leaders who can cut down on wasteful spending while continuing to provide much needed services to our people."

"In the greatest country in the world, it is absolutely wrong that Americans do not have access to quality healthcare. Our healthcare cost in this country are rising and public health is beginning to decline amid various pandemics which have reached our shores. Our state needs to be a front runner in healthcare reform, ensuring that everyone will get the treatment they need."

"Children are the future, but more than that they are a sound investment. Every dollar spent on education in this state has a greater return. In a time of economic recession investing in the future generation of engineers, doctors, and teachers will most certainly return the prosperity this country has for so long enjoyed."

"People need both job security and the ability to provide for their families.  This district needs high-paying quality jobs beyond just basic service oriented employment.  Providing incentive to both local small businesses to expand as well as favorable conditions to well paying corporations will be key to achieving this.  People need employment that will truly improve their quality of life and help them achieve the American Dream."

"When speaking with the elderly and those preparing to retire, Healthcare and Pensions are some of their biggest concerns. Medicaid in this state must be fully funded. And, those employees who have years of service to our state and local governments must have their nest eggs watched over responsibly. Our grandparents and great grandparents have worked their entire lives to contribute to our society. We owe them, at least, that much."

"Funding our police and fire deparments is the key to reducing crime and increasing public safety. Without the sacrifices of these brave men and women we would not live in as safe neighborhoods as we do. We must continue to be vigilant against rising crime in these tough economic times and ensure that our officers have the necessary tools to fight crime on our streets."

"The campaign promises of past officials have been to improve the transportation problems affecting the district. Yet, we still see many areas where it just isn't safe to walk across the street. Improving pedestrian safety as well as alleviating traffic around the University area is a key issue that I plan on personally handling as your State Representative."
