First off, thanks for making the effort to learn more about the candidates. I truly appreciate your civic interest, even if you don't vote for me. But if you choose someone else, I hope you'll take something from this site and expect it from whomever you do vote for.

I built this site on my desktop PC. Much of what you're seeing here was designed by GoDaddy's AI, but the words are all mine. I've seen some of the other candidates' websites, and I'm very impressed and a bit intimidated by several of them. But I believe this is a contest of ideas, not presentation, so I hope you'll think more about the message than the packaging. I'm updating it a couple times a week with new essays, so check back often.

I've divided it into three sections. "Big Ideas" is about national issues that will take longer to formulate and implement. "Issues" is about more immediate things that Congress should address quickly -- one of them before they do anything else. And "Et cetera" is my thoughts on a variety of topics. Not always proposals, but opinions.

I hope that even if you don't vote for me, you'll vote for, well, anyone but our current representative, who I don't believe represents us well. I think the Republican-led U.S. Congress (both House and Senate) has abandoned its role as the source of our country's direction and leadership, instead becoming essentially a rubber stamp for the current president. The Republicans need to be the minority party for a while. I've been to several events with most of the other Democratic and independent candidates, and will absolutely support whichever one makes it to the general election in November.
