Three Objectives that Motivate My Campaign

I am running for Congress so that I can continue serving our diverse, seven- county district as an accessible, bipartisan problem-solver who not only understands the unique issues facing our local communities but also has the energy and legislative skills to solve them.

The majority of any legislator's day is not consumed with critical votes that will determine national security. Itís spent solving a myriad of local problems brought to him or her by constituents and local governments.

I've prided myself on the standard my office has set over the past seven years in bringing diverse groups together to forge solutions for the greater good of the community. I enjoy bending ears, forging alliances and getting things done for our North Coast and North Bay. I want to continue that work representing our area in Congress.

2) Replace Political Showmanship with Bipartisan Leadership

I want to use my bipartisan record of working with both sides of the aisle to refocus national debate away from ìmade-for-televisionî priorities and toward real-life problem-solving that will protect retirement savings, enhance job security and set national standards to better educate our children.
