The people of West Virginia want real change this time; a grassroots candidate, a social and fiscal conservative, a Tea Party participant who is not beholden to any special interest groups or who has no personal or professional alliances with entities that would sway my decisions to best serve West Virginians.
I began my campaign 14 months ago, in March 2009, when there were no other candidates. Having researched Obama and Mollohan’s backgrounds, I decided to run for this office. I have traveled the 20 counties extensively attending Republican functions and meetings, Tea Party protests, went through candidate training sessions, attended seminars and studied the issues.
I am a transplant from California having followed my daughter on a pilgrimage to a better place for an improved lifestyle and community involvement. I attended the University of Colorado in Architecture, but decided to go into real estate instead. I have traveled many parts of the world and had the opportunity to live in and attend some school in Holland. My parents were both teachers, my father had a master’s degree in political science and was a retired Navy Lieutenant.
My business back ground consists of a 30 year ownership in a real estate investment and management company. At the same time, I was a partner in a full service aviation company. I was also the founder and President of a non-profit corporation.
My community service in Wheeling has me involved as the Volunteer Director of the Downtown Business Association which I formed last year in an attempt to bring business back to our city.
With this group I also created the Micro Business Co-op to help and mentor new entrepreneurs. I am also on the board of directors of the Wheeling Jamboree, was a member of Rotary and the Chamber.
My past public service consists of time as a County Community Council member – President of a City Mediation Program – Member of a city redevelopment program and City Council candidate.
If elected I will help bring the Constitution back to the people, the government back to the states and put the people in charge again. I will impose term limits upon myself, enforce our freedom of speech, firearm protection, privacy in our homes and state rights.
I will help overturn the massive health care bill, vote against Cap and Trade. fight against amnesty for illegals, uphold the rights of the unborn, strengthen our military and most importantly find ways to get our population back to work; mo more bailouts or another stimulus funding, no more tax increases. I want the federal government out of our lives and to let the states regain rule.
The people in West Virginia do not want the likes of politicians we have in Congress now. They need to be voted out, and a new face voted in, with a new direction.
No more of the same. We need real change this time. Bring back the Constitution to the people.
