Additional comment from candidate:
The largest problem in Washington is the influence of Lobbyist and Donors in Washington. Common people are no longer being represented. As a result we have 14% approval rating, spending is out of control with no accountability, health care costs are high, are borders are not secure and feeling safe in America is no longer a given. We need change in Washington, we need to send representatives to Washington without special interest ties, I need your help with this mission, please let other know about this campaign. I encourage you all to contact me with any questions or concerns. Joel
