Statement: I have lived and raised a family in the 31st LD over the last 30 years. I am running for State Representative because I feel a deep commitment to the people of this district. Our children and grandchildren deserve opportunities to create their future both within our district, but also anywhere their vision and effort takes them. This requires quality infrastructure, a healthy environment, good public education, and many solid small and medium size businesses.  The state government should help provide these, including a leveling of the tax and regulation playing field between small/medium firms and large corporations.
