Why should voters elect you?
"My record of working in my legislative duties diligently and faithfully for my constituents in my effort to make government open, accountable and responsive to the will and needs of people. An incumbent must re-run on his record of leadership, abilities and constituent services. My experience in all levels of our community and government as reflected herein will again place me in a leadership position to address the major issues of the next millennium; namely educational reform, economic and job development, protecting the environment, revamping the juvenile criminal system and redesigning our health care system for patients and physicians, not profits."
What do you want voters to know about you?
"My greatest joy was to get my wife of 42 years to marry me, raise eight married children, who in turn have strong family lives."
