I am a christian believer unafraid to assert my beliefs, I am a family man, married for 50 years. I have devoted my entire working life to serving others professionally ....my legislative priorities are.... revisiting laws that are not working in dealing with the habitually violent criminal, supporting childhood education age 3 +, and taking a firm stance on reforming DOT and how the road prioritizations are handled ...it is an insult to the taxpayer on how this process is handled
