I’m a family and business man, who is very disappointed with the political
landscape in Arizona and Washington. Common sense and sound business principles
have taken a back seat to an era of growing entitlements, unprecedented Federal
bailouts and a lack of financial discipline. I believe the American people want
a smaller and more efficient government; one with leaders who understand family
values and financial business principles and practices. This is why I am a Republican candidate
for Arizona Congressional District 3.
I was employed by IBM for 30 years. While at IBM and raising our family, my wife
Karen and I started a small business which we still own today. My success with small
and large businesses was achieved by a result-oriented philosophy that was tempered
by strict financial principles.
For 10 years, I successfully applied sound business principles to my elected position
as Councilman, Vice-Mayor and Mayor of the Town of Paradise Valley, Arizona. We
completed numerous major projects, improving town infrastructure, significantly
upgrading needed services and still set aside reserves for that proverbial rainy
day. This combination of private and public sector experience make me uniquely qualified
to represent the people of Congressional District 3 in Washington.
You deserve an experienced conservative who will bring a common sense approach to
resolving everyday issues in a positive and proactive manner. Although achieving
the American dream is becoming more elusive every day, it is my goal, like my father’s
before me, to pass on to our children and grandchildren a better America, one full
of pride, opportunity and generosity.
This is a critical time for our Country. We need all Americans to come together
and return this Country to its glory. Together we can and will be successful. I
have proven my leadership skills in business and government and now ask you to support
our campaign by making an investment in the future of America, so that together,
we can build upon the past successes that have made this Country great.
