Statement: Voters must stop accepting economic decline as being inevitable. The time has come to throw out incumbent politicians. Elect a person who promotes policies that actually help people! Change requires electing someone who will defy the normal. I am that person. I am running to modify Obamacare in this state. It has harmed many of my Democratic and Republican friends. Also, I will let registered voters in the 36th district vote via email to determine my legislative votes on many of the issues coming before me. For the first time in history, you will determine your future more directly.
