What seems to be happening in Congress anyway? Republicans and Democrats bicker back and forth for control. I may be a Republican but my goal would be to change the face of Congress.

This country was based on the beliefs of the people not the one individual in power. It seems we have straied from that belief and now we have lower voter turnouts. Most Americans are just disgusted with how politicians act.I for one believe we need to remove those who have tried to stay longer than they need to.

When I get to Washington D.C. I will not let my beliefs or the goals of the people who elected me be controlled by a third party or special interest groups. I have a love for history and I do not believe our governement can stand the test of time if we cannot work towards a combined answer to our problems.

The goal is to have a government that works together and not against each other.

If nothing else I want to make sure I can help those who need help. I will not hold a grudge against someone and I do not believe in hurting others for my own growth.

I may be the youngest candidate running for congress at the age of 28, and some may say my youth could be a problem. I believe that my youth is what congress needs and my greates asset. We need a new voice and new ideals to move into a greater and a more prosperous future.
