Statement from the candidate:
Our legislative process is polarized to the point of paralysis.
Negotiation and consensus building have been abandoned. Civility
and common sense are dead. I want to provide a dynamic middle ground,
building solutions in a sensible center, using the best of what
all parties offer. I will employ conflict resolution and mediation
skills to find common ground and workable solutions. I will provide
an independent voice that is not forced to vote along party lines;
engage in productive debate with all colleagues, and treat all colleagues
with respect. My legislative priorities are fiscal responsibility,
economic growth, health care, education and transportation. .
