Platform Shorts
This is a "nutshell" list of policy priorities. I want your participation when I'm in the House, and I want it now, too. If you see something left out or in need of a change, contact me, and we'll talk about it. When I'm in the House, I'll keep everyone in the district in the loop, and we'll take a vote on what OUR vote will be.
