Like many of you, I’ve enjoyed good financial times and suffered through economic setbacks. I know what it is like to make ends meet. I have deep respect for the business community in the 1st District – these are men and women who take risks to better their lives and the lives of employees. If elected, I will be a friend to the business community. After all, it is your investments that create jobs – not the federal government printing money and mortgaging our future!
