A New Perspective

I’ll be honest, I’m a pro-life, pro-Second Amendment Christian who hears the words “property taxes” and starts looking for the nearest harbor to throw tea in. I won’t pretend to be something I’m not. But leadership isn’t just toeing the line. If all we do is maintain what we currently have, we are setting our descendants up for failure.

​

I don’t want to wake up in thirty years and realize that my future children are fighting the same battles my grandparents were. And right now, I haven’t seen anything that convinces me that won’t be the case.

​

We still have a rising number of children being abused and exploited, with little meaningful progress being made, an education system that continues to fall short of where it needs to be, and a mental health crisis among young adults that is only getting worse.

 

These are problems that cannot be treated as secondary priorities any longer. I am willing to work with people I don’t always agree with, while staying true to who I am. Winning arguments and making headlines is great during election season, but personally, I’d like to see real steps being taken towards creating a better future for our families.
