Political Philosophy
I am a moderate who believes in fiscal responsibility and that the most important things for any member of any legislature are integrity and a willingness to compromise. Without compromise, democracy doesn't work. I understand, and in many cases sympathize with, the valid concerns of people at both ends of the political spectrum but don't agree with the more extreme positions on either side.
I am confident that I can be a very effective Senator for District 2 in the State Senate because of my integrity, willingness to work with members from both sides of the aisle, and ability to compromise.
Top Issues
- Affordable cost of living, particularly housing so that employees of local businesses can afford to live close to where they work.
- Protecting our democracy at all levels from extremists and autocrats to ensure our government represents the interests of all our citizens, not just those of one party.
- Providing an excellent public education for our children.
- Protecting the climate and environment so that the communities in Senate District 2 remain great places to live and for tourists to visit.
