I'm running for U.S. Representative because of what the Washington
culture of corruption is doing to our country. Our foreign and defense
policy is broken, our economy is in recession and our health care system
is bankrupting rather than strengthening our country.
 In return for the loyalty of Americans, you have been rewarded with
irresponsibility and scandal. Our Southwest Missouri values now take a
backseat to the Washington culture of corruption. It's long past time
for a change. Enough is enough. It is time to Restore Integrity.
You deserve a U.S. Representative that will fight for good jobs in a strong economy, for world-class education, and not just represent special trade interests like tobacco and oil companies.
You deserve someone who shares and has lived your Main Street Values,
not just the values of Wall Street. The current administration has made too many
of us think that Government is just another Racket.
It's time for a change back to Integrity in Government and that's why I
am running.
I know and respect the ways of small town, rural Missouri because I grew
up in a strong middle class household in the small town of Monett. I
have lived my life as a public servant in the Army, in local government
and went on to serve the last 20 years as a Federal Prosecutor in the
United States Attorney's Office. I retired in February and I can and
will, with your support, bring our shared values back to Washington from
this District. You can and will make it happen.
