Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
iam 55yrs old and have been married for 32 yrs with 2 children.My history of being a blue collar worker all my life gives me insight to the typical middle class struggles and issues that face us.It is my belief that Washinton D.C. has lost that vision due to big money lobbyists and the special intrest groups that petition there. I will always consider the CONSTITUTION when making a decision vs it being a republican or democratic cause.
