"It is an honor to serve the people of
District 16 as your representative. I do my best to represent our
district. Although we may not agree 100% of the time, we probably
agree most of the time. I work hard to make informed decisions on
legislation by listening to constituents and understanding the social
and economic impacts to citizens in our district and our state."
