What a great weekend my volunteers and I had at the St. Lawrence Festival in Lawrenceburg! After a long day of going door to door it was a lot of fun getting out meeting some of the people of Lawrenceburg in a different setting. Some of the people who have been working so hard on this campaign also got to take part in a little recreation. The people of Lawrenceburg were very welcoming, and I want to thank them for speaking to me about issues that are important to them as well as letting me get to know them on a personal level.

I’ve been counting down the days this week with excitement! Our campaign hasn’t had the opportunity to visit the Lawrenceburg area much during our drive to spread the word about my bid for state representative.

Patriot, Indiana

There may be a reason that there is only one incorporated town in the Country named Patriot. It is a prideful name, and one that requires the people of that town to hold themselves to a high standard to do it justice. The people of Patriot, Indiana certainly lived up to their name on July 4th, 2008.

Those of us raised in Southern Indiana believe in the opportunities and privileges that are provided by our great country. Unfortunately, as we look around we see several challenges to our basic freedoms and way of life. Whether it’s exorbitant gas prices, higher unemployment or do-nothing politicians, one thing is clear: we need a fresh perspective.
