I am...

• running for State Senator for District 9 because I know I can do a better job for my constituents than the incumbent.
• retired from education and management positions. I know how to work through problems to find solutions. I have no hidden agenda or a business of my own on the side.  I have the time and intelligence to work for all of us.
• a senior.  I understand the challenges of growing older with regards to a limited income, lifestyle changes and health care.
• a parent and a grandparent.  I worry about the future my children and my grandchildren will face.  Will my children be able to find and keep good jobs to support their families?  Will my children be able to afford and to keep a good place to live?  Will my children and grandchildren have affordable and quality health care?  Will they be able to breathe our air without getting sick?  Will my grandchildren have a quality education?  Will most of us be taxed to death so that the rich can grow wealthier while the rest of us suffer?  Will we be secure in our homes and on our streets?
• I know the problems we all face.  I live them every day just like you.
