Statement: I love living here in Hancock County. We are fortunate to have neighbors who will lend a hand, vibrant communities and unparalleled natural treasures. It is my love of this place and its people that called me to serve in the Legislature. Representing our community for the past four years has been both an honor and a fulfilling experience. I am grateful that people across this district have readily shared their ideas for a better future, and thus helped me direct my efforts at the State House. I am proud that my colleagues and I have been able to deliver results, like fully funding education, investing in our infrastructure and assuring health insurance for those with preexisting conditions.
If reelected, I will continue to work tirelessly to listen to and understand the ideas of others — both my constituents and fellow legislators — and build on my record of commonsense problem solving and bipartisanship. Over the past four years, I have done my best to represent folks with the respect and responsiveness they deserve. We may not always agree, but we can’t help the fact that we’re all in this together.
