Hello and welcome to my campaign website. I am a native of District 13 and a life-long west-valley resident. I’m twice a graduate of Arizona State University and I now practice law in the valley representing clients who mostly come from District 13. This area is my home and I’d be honored to serve this community in the House of Representatives. I believe that although and perhaps because we are all voters in a solidly Democratic district, we must demand more from our elected officials. We cannot be satisfied with career elected officials that have grown comfortable, complacent, and ultimately ineffective at the capitol. We need a fresh voice, a renewed energy and a renewed sense of responsibility and perspective. That’s what I will provide once I’m elected. We cannot be satisfied with just having a vote, we need a voice.  I will be a voice that provides thoughtful and articulate arguments from a background of experience and earned respect from a lifetime of being a servant, as a volunteer and in my profession, to my community. I will provide all of that and be your vote AND your voice. Please give me the opportunity to make this district proud again. I ask for your vote on August 24th.
