Reason for Seeking Public Office:
In 2006 and 2008, our country decided that the status quo was no longer acceptable and voted for "change". Unfortunately, this change was for the worse. The deficit continues to soar and yet little is being done to reverse course. Our country's credit rating has been downgraded and it's very possible that it will be downgraded again. Businesses have all but stopped hiring due to crippling taxes and onerous regulations, while many of our fellow countrymen have simply stopped looking for employment. Our children continue to fall behind their foreign counterparts in education, particularly math and science. The housing outlook remains bleak and will be confounded by the fact that many of our nations' newly minted college graduates are burdened with massive student loan debt and no employment.
