Running a campaign is a significant challenge. It is difficult to get a message out to as many people as possible
in a short time. I hope you find that my web site is a great way to quickly introduce myself and educate visitors on my many
qualifications and goals for the people and community of Dubois County. I hope you'll find the information
you need on this site to make an informed decision. I look forward to hearing from you if you have any questions or need further
information.
I will run on the Democrat ticket in the May 4 primary. The general election is November 2.
