On Leadership

Leadership during these times of economic and national security crisis demands a diminished role of government and respect for the roles and missions of our armed forces. Barney Frank, Richard Neal and their fellow Democrats want to expand government even more deeply into our lives in an effort to get at our wallets, while President Obama's indecision in Afghanistan puts our soldiers in jeopardy.  "Got Leadership?" I'd answer, "Not yet." Thank you all for your continuing support.

Anticipation

The excitement of taking this campaign public is palpable.  Our adventure is about to launch.  I hold no reservations but admit to having butterflies.  Over the past several months, I have spoken to so many people across the 2nd Congressional District who have shared their concerns about the future course of the United States. I am convinced as never before that our journey is necessary and our time is now.
