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.

Now is the time to send a message to the Indianapolis insiders that we want new ideas based on smaller, smarter government and personal responsibility. Our community is blessed with the hardest working folks in Indiana. These are good people; people who are sincere, honest and practical. I have a deep appreciation for these people, and because of that I want continue to build my life right here where my roots have been planted, with people who share my same values.

I have lived most of my life in Southern Indiana and have always had much appreciation for the area and its community. Working at my family’s law practice has given me the opportunity to talk with people about their concerns and challenges that face them in our community. People are frustrated with unfair taxes and high gas prices. The unemployed and underemployed are continually striving for a better quality of life for themselves and their children. Yet, we have politicians who are unable to help us face these challenges.

My number one priority as your State Representative is to see that our community thrives, and in order to do so we need to bring in new, higher-paying jobs to the area. The people of this district are skilled individuals with a solid work ethic. We need to showcase these qualities in order to create greater opportunities for all of us here at home.

It is my belief that a good leader needs to know what is most important to those he represents. Therefore, I want to know what concerns you have. Please feel free to contact me to share your issues of concern, as well as any questions or comments you have. I assure you that I will work hard to fight for effective solutions, and stand-up against the politicians in Indianapolis.

I look forward to meeting you!
