My interest in politics is fed by my passion for working with people, and my sincere desire to get involved with helping to improve our communities. One of the most effective ways to make change is to be where the laws are created that govern our well being. I have a lot to offer to all Ohio communities, having gained a wealth of knowledge and experience throughout my 25 plus years of service in government. Having worked with the legislative process, elected officials, programs, and policies, I understand how all of this can fit together for the benefit our community. We all know that the economy is in bad shape, but we cannot let that get us down. It’s time to move on. As your candidate for the Ohio Senate - 3rd district, I promise to work with you to earn your trust, and to be an effective representative for the district.
