As a small business owner our company has provided rewarding  jobs, with good salaries and benefits, for local people and their families. I have met over 500 payrolls and understand what our State needs to do to create more jobs for working families.

I am willing to roll up my sleeves and get to work to create jobs and put the State on good fiscal footing again, through the willingness to make the tough decisions that will be required just like I have in my own business through these difficult times.
