I am a passionate Democrat living in a very red world. Although I am not an ideologue, I do believe the government plays a very meaningful role in each of our lives. Whether it’s protecting our liberty, enabling healthy marketplace competition, or bridging the gap for the poor and elderly, supporting the Democratic Party provides honest value and satisfaction.
Politically speaking I find myself in the middle. I believe in sensible gun legislation because I am a gun owner. I believe healthcare is a right, not a privilege for the privileged. I believe markets should be the driver of economic decisions, including wage and immigration. I believe marriage should be between a man and a woman, but will fight alongside the LGBT community for all rights under marriage. I believe in the sanctity of life which continues (not ends) after the first breath of an infant. I am passionate about policy and welcome any debate of social positions or fiscal and budgetary matters.
My desire is sharing political perspective based on my experiences and rooted in data. I do not talk in anecdotal examples or propaganda, but strive to deliver meaningful debate lifting all who choose to engage.
