Principled Leadership to End Partisan Politics

Washington, D.C. has become a place where influence often matters more than ideals and loyalty to party is more apparent than loyalty to principle. Congress has become a place where connections mean more than conscience and personal interests trump the national interest. We must change Congress and replace partisan politics with principled leadership.

I believe that elected officials should serve the people, and not the other way around. Too many elected leaders have stopped listening to the people who elected them. They have adopted an attitude of entitlement and self-indulgence. Some have been there too long. We need a Congress that rises above personal privilege and party politics. We need to replace the partisan bickering that dominates Washington. In the 4th District we need to elect a congressman who will listen to us – a congressman who will offer new solutions – a congressman who will lead by bringing people together for the common good.
