I want to thank the citizens of District 21 for their support and confidence.

It has been a pleasure to be welcomed into your homes and onto your doorsteps to discuss the issues important to you.

What this election shows is that the people are thirsting for real republican leadership.  Our party stands for lower taxes, less government, and more freedom.

The people simply responded to our campaign's message. 

I look forward to a competitive race this fall.  And in the spirit of the Olympics, we move on to beat Finland!

This past week, I had a discussion with a local businessman about the state of the economy here in Green Valley.  He told me, "Our business has definitely been slowing since last September.  Consistently, we are seeing 10% annual declines in revenues combined with rapidly increasing prices.  Given this reality, it is beyond me why Carson City politicians are talking about raising our taxes.  Do they want me to go out of business or have to cut jobs?"

I hear statements like this all of the time when I am going door to door talking to voters.  They tell me we need representatives who understand what it takes to create jobs and grow an economy; they are thrilled that a businessman is running to be their Assemblyman.

Hearing this encouragement from voters lets me know that I am doing the right thing by running to represent Green Valley in the Nevada State Assembly.  It is a large sacrifice to be a candidate, but the stakes of this election make inaction unacceptable.
