For over three decades I have been a part of this community and have participated in many community projects and causes. I have seen our booms and our busts. I have experienced success and some setbacks. I am a southern Arizonan. This is my home.

I am also an American, and I’m very concerned about what the people in Washington have done to limit opportunity and prosperity. Not just for us but for our children and their children. I believe in American exceptionalism, and we owe a debt to everyone who has paid for our freedoms with their lives and their service.

I am running for Congress to represent the citizens of Southern Arizona and be your voice in Washington — fighting for job creation, fiscal discipline, real health care reform and the security of our borders.

I want to help steer this country in new and bold directions by representing this district in the United States Congress to embrace the best of our past and refute any and all programs that do not advance the concepts of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

We share the same American dream of freedom, safety and prosperity for our generation and all future generations.

I’d be honored to have your vote.
