There comes a time in every man’s life when he pauses to look around at his family, friends and community and begins asking himself questions. Questions like: What have I done to impact the things closest and dearest to me? Have I made a difference and was it enough?

Recently, I began to ask myself those very questions. I am very proud to have served this community for the past 35 years as a police officer, and to have the support of a loving wife and wonderful family, but I look around and see that there is still more work to be done.

Through the years of working in our great community, I have heard the challenges of business owners, city leaders, and farmers. I have heard the frustrations of taxpayers. I have heard the concerns of senior citizens, veterans, the unemployed and underemployed who strive for quality of life for themselves and their children. I have also heard their concerns about the erosion of traditional family values. These are the challenges that face this community, and the factors that motivated me to begin this journey to run for State Representative of House District 36.

My number one priority is to see that our community thrives, and in order to do so we need to bring in new, higher-paying jobs. The people of this district are skilled individuals with a solid work ethic. We need to showcase these qualities to create greater opportunity for all of us here at home.

I am excited and humbled by this opportunity to serve you! It is my belief that a good leader needs to know what is most important to those he represents. Therefore, I want to know what concerns you have. Please feel free to contact me to share your issues of concern, as well as any questions or comments you have. I assure you that I will work hard to fight for effective solutions, and stand-up against the politicians in Indianapolis.

I look forward to meeting you!

Was just reading in the paper that a poll of 1000 persons showed that 42% feel that most members of Congress are not "honest people of good character". In the days when Frank was Chief of Police at Anderson PD, I was fortunate to know him as a sales rep for a uniform supply company. Frank was always a top cop and a straight shooter in my mind. I know he still has those characteristics and is a dedicated public servant. Whatever issues come up for him to cast votes about, I am certain he will honestly examine each and every aspect of an issue before he casts his vote. My vote is for him! I suggest you will not be sorry when you do the same.
