When talking with people in the district, I am often asked what makes me any different from any other candidate running for public office. I am told that everyone says the same thing, “less taxes and smaller government,” but no one ever delivers once elected. I offer something that no one else can, a track record of smart spending. No other candidate is running a campaign on less than $700 a month. I can do this because I have found ways to do things cheaper, better, and more efficiently than others, and that is just the type of outside the box thinking we need in Washington, DC!
What makes me a truly unique candidate is my desire to reach out to the public to get the know your issues, hear your concerns, and start a dialog with you on the solutions. I strongly encourage you to get involved though the Commentary and Questions section of my website where you can read my thoughts on issues, the comments by the public, and engage in the dialog. No other campaign offers you the opportunity to discuss the issues one on one with the candidate and with other members of the public in this manner!
I am committed to serving the public, through engagement and through involvement. I am the only candidate who spends more time volunteering for the public good than asking for the public’s money. Some candidates will highlight their donations and attendance at fundraisers, but this was paid for with your money! It is not benefiting the public or the charity, but rather the politician who participates in the event.
All I want from the public is for you to spread the word of my campaign and my desire to serve. Take a few minutes to talk to 10 of your friends or family members about my campaign, so that they can be informed about who is running for office, and not just see the signs and advertisements of candidates who care more about spending your money than making your neighborhoods a better place to live.
Only with your help will I be able to keep our county one with a government “of the people, by the people and for the people.” If not, we will become a government of the uninformed, run by politicians, for the special interest groups!
Please join me as we Set a New Pace for the 22nd District, one where the people come first!
