Leadership is Problem Solving
As a business owner who has spent my career turning businesses into high performance organizations, I know WE CAN BE PRO-BUSINESS AND PRO-FAMILY. We do not have to pay poverty wages to workers to be successful. America works best with a strong middle class and markets that work. It is past time for us to stop choosing to battle each other rather than solve problems together. We need responsible leadership to return us to greatness.

I calls on Americans of all political persuasions to stop our country's death spiral of partisan politics, the adoration of the almighty dollar, corporations and wealthy individuals not paying their fair share, and an economy based on creating and exporting weapons of death to the rest of the planet. As JFK reminded us, "Either war is obsolete or people are." We are at that turning point. We cannot afford to elect individuals who see starving the government, therefore research, medicine, science and education; voting to destroy the world's economy to get their way; and promoting and protecting a zero/sum world view: where you get yours by taking from me or vice-versa.

Instead, we need to return to what we know works: inclusion, compromise and excellent leadership. And we must return to the lesson of America: that through applying all of our genius and hard work we can increase the size of the pie and solve problems together and create that world of promise for our children and our children's children.

I spent my career working with business leaders to turn their companies around. I applied the techniques of Total Quality Management and Collaborative Leadership to create high performance corporate cultures. I will do the same in Washington.
