The 2008 Election is the most import in my lifetime. I am running for state senate because I care about the future of our state. I will be a positive influence for reform and change in Harrisburg. We can do better for our taxpayers. We can do better for the people of the 37th Senatorial District.

I am not a career politician. I have a real job and life experiences to reform and change Harrisburg. My 28 years in health care will give me a unique perspective to tackle our health care crisis.

To reform and change Harrisburg would be my top priority. The good old boy's network is broken. I am paying for may own campaign because I refuse to be another bought and paid for candidate. Lobbyist and PAC money should be banned in campaigns.

Affordable Health Care, Quality Education, reforming and lowering property taxes and protecting our senior citizens will be my top priorities, I will also introduce a bill to eliminate all cars and perks for elected officials, push for term limits and work to reduce the size of the state legislature.
