I am an Army veteran and a retired
Economist with a career extending over 30 years,
mostly with the Federal 
government but also with the airport
development industry. My campaign will emphasize
issues, not feelings or sentiments. I believe
that serious changes must be made to the way politics
are conducted and issues debated and
resolved. However, I differ from
the incumbent because I believe that thorough and
frank discussion of the issues and my proposals for
their resolution are the best means of differentiating
my campaign from his. Not all of you will agree
with my positions and suggested remedies for some of
these issues, but I sincerely ask that you give my
proposals a fair evaluation and compare them in depth
with the positions of the incumbent on these topics.
I am greatly concerned about the assault on our
individual constitutional liberties and the
failure of the Federal government to help the
homeless. I have no campaign sponsors or
contributors and will use my best judgment when
voting on issues. I will not
be subservient to any partisan ideology and
have no intention of becoming a career
politician. I would greatly appreciate having
the opportunity to be your truly independent
Democrat voice in Congress.

primary election on April 3, 2012.
