Welcome
Our state, in the midst of the second greatest recession in modern history, is in need of honest talk about our challenges and how to solve our statewide economic, social, educational and medical needs. I am running for the Democratic nomination for the 72nd District because I believe I can be a strong voice for you in Jefferson City on these issues.
I have been dedicated to public service all of my adult life. You have come to know me perhaps as a neighbor, 12 year member of the University City School Board, a lawyer, a soccer coach and/or as a member of a number of municipal and state commissions.
As a 20-year resident of the 72nd District, I understand the issues facing us. My children were raised in the District, and I have seen first hand the difficulties facing young people as they begin to establish their careers, and their lives.
The majority of federal money that comes into our area flows through Jefferson City. We need to build cooperative relationships between our municipal leaders and state government agencies. We need to work both sides of the aisle to forge the solutions that are crucial to help Missouri rebound.
Please join my campaign and help spread the word to your friends and family. I need your help as a volunteer to reach out to other voters, to hold coffees in your home so I can talk with your neighbors about the issues they think are important, to put up signs and more. And I need your help as a donor to bring this campaign alive.
2010 is a crucial year for all of us. With the Missouri economy slow to recover from the recession, we are facing tough choices. We need honest conversations about our state's ability to deliver what is important to us, and to drive the discussion across party lines.
I have experience in legislative, financial, judicial, legal, executive, business, health care, education and economic development activities to put to work for the 72nd District. I ask for your support, and pledge to be a legislator who will bring your voice to Jefferson City.
