I’m running for Congress because in too many areas, business-as-usual politics has prevented us from addressing the important challenges facing our nation. In these tough economic times, we need a steady, articulate voice against the "pork" and over-spending of government.

Every dollar irresponsibly spent by Congress is a dollar diverted from pressing priorities like creating jobs, lowering tax burdens on working Americans, supporting those fighting overseas, making good on our promises to senior citizens, and paying down the national debt.

Instead of controlling runaway spending, Congress is bailing out big corporations and breaking ethics laws.  Let’s bring character and integrity back to Congress and protect our children’s future from today’s overspending."
