Our founding fathers never envisioned our democracy putting self interest ahead of the people’s interest. Today, career politicians have put personal ambitions, special interests and partisan politics ahead of the interests of the people who elect them and pay their salaries.

I believe if you don’t come home and listen to the people, you can’t represent their voice their hopes and their interests in Washington.

I will be a public servant and will always remember who I work for, who pays my freight, and to whom I am accountable. That’s a pledge you can put in the bank.
