I am running to serve Missouri and the 7th District as your U.S. Congressman. The 7th District includes Bolivar, Springfield, Joplin, and Branson.
I plan to get right to work as your U.S. Congressman
I want to work with you and for you as your U.S. Congressman. We are in it together as Americans, and our democracy will only work when citizens and representatives partner together. Let’s get to work. We have a lot of work to do to get America back on a good track for today and the future, both domestically and internationally. To be most effective, I plan to prioritize my work, putting the most important tasks first. These tasks are tasks that you tell me Missouri and America needs to build for today and the future. These are tasks that will help make Missouri and America the best it can be. I can assure you, my first bill will not be to make a day of recognition for my prior career, like my opponent, Rep. Billy Long (R). There is way too much to get accomplished to be wasting time and money.
Our initial priorities are to the point because they are issues that Missourians have told me that are important: Fix the economy, fix government spending, and transform the people of Southwest Missouri and the United States into a globally competitive, skilled workforce.
Making the right choice for America's future
Let's face it. The Democrat-led congress didn't work. We replaced them with Republicans in the House, and absolutely NOTHING happened. It has become a seesaw of back and forth ineffective government. Now, we are two years into the race to recovery, and our current legislature is still bickering at the starting line.
Let's look outside the two wrongs. I am currently running as an Independent. This means a few things. First and foremost, I am not tied to an established doctrine that is proven to not work. I also am answerable to only the people of District 7 and Missouri first and always. Finally, I am not restricted by "keeping to my own party" when finding the right answers for America's best policies. That freedom to think and act intelligently is what allows me to make an immediate and beneficial difference.
I need your help to get started and to partner with me when I am serving as your U.S. Congressman. Our first step is to be on the 2012 Missouri General Election ballot. Visit the Petition page for details.
Let's get to work together.
