Why Running: I love Morgan County! I have waded in the creeks, hiked the mountains, rode the trails, and fished in the streams as I am sure many of you have. I watch young people graduate and have to move away from family and friends they love because there is no employment to keep them situated and able to raise a responsible family of their own.

I believe in our Constitution and Bill of Rights. I want to hear concerns and learn about the issues at hand to make decisions based on fact and reason.
