It is my purpose to propose legislation to standardize the election process for all federal elections. This will include presidential primary campaigns and general elections as well as congressional elections.
The Reasons:
Because all U.S. citizens are subjected to the outcomes of federal elections by the Senate, House, and the President, then the election process should not be dictated by political parties. Instead one standard for all states should include all parties as well as independents.
There must be fair and unobstructed procedures to ensure that all eligible voters have the opportunity to vote. States or political parties should not be allowed to maneuver the size and time of polling stations nor should those who choose no party be denied the vote in primary elections

It will be my goal to propose or support legislation to upgrade and repair our highway systems, which have become dangerous to the public in their neglect. Our roads and bridges need inspection and maintenance to ensure safe driving for the public and increase the efficiency of transportation of commercial goods.
It is a fact that a high school education is no longer adequate for most jobs today. I will propose legislation to expand public education to community college programs in the CTE category (Career and Technical Education). CTE programs are the base programs for job training. By expanding this program to those who are seriously pursuing or upgrading job skills the community benefits, business benefits, and students benefit. It's a win-win.
My promises to the people of the 3rd congressional district are:
- Wise decision making with your hard earned tax dollars
- Fair and open procedures that can be monitored online – how I vote and why
- Strong leadership to promote and obtain legislation that resolves our most urgent issues such as:
- Safe roads and bridges,
- A fair and standardized federal election process
- Expanding our high school education to two years of funded Community College technical training to facilitate job training
- Fair and reciprocal trade agreements to ensure a strong economic foundation at home
- Realistic assessments of past legislation to ensure for its viability in a changing world
- Addressing changing military requirements
- Establishing a strong national sickness insurance program and creating a citizen driven wellness program
- Evaluation of existing safety net policies to promote sustainability and encourage independence instead of dependencies.
- Balancing the budget by streamlining, restructuring and reducing government waste
- Assessing and realigning foreign policy decisions to encourage collaboration and integration.
