Why I choose to run against Charlie Brown

I have been an involved and active citizen all my adult life. I had faith that our elected representatives were doing their jobs and protecting us. I knew that corporations with special interests hired lobbyists to look after their interests. I believed that our representatives were our "lobbyists", looking after our best interests.

However, this proved not to be the case. When our legislature gave huge tax breaks to our largest corporation under cover of the reassessment, I knew the system was broken. I went to Indianapolis to lobby on behalf of the people for a 2% tax cap and for a tax break for all based on the Lake County settlement with U S Steel. I was successful in doing both and I learned a lot, I learned who was effective representing us and who was not.

I choose to run because much more needs to be done. As an unelected individual I was able to get the 2% tax cap passed. As an elected representative of the 3rd District, I believe I can do much more to improve the quality of life in Northwest Indiana. I believe I can be effective in the state legislature because I was effective without having been a member. As a member, I will be the lobbyist for the people.

Thank You,
