We need people who look at things in a different way, with the experience to know what works and what doesn't work and the persistence to see it through.  I have that  perspective.  I have that experience.  And I have that persistence. I can help the residents and the communities of the 23rd District better their lot.  We can do that by:

working in concert with local employers and entrepreneurs to create more jobs,

investing wisely in the health and education of our children and our workforce, and

finding ways to responsibly address the rising cost of energy and health care.
