Dear Friends,
I would like to take a moment after August 12th Primary to say thank you to those who voted in the election. Anytime we vote we exercise a freedom that is desired in many nations around the world. In the United States of America our country’s revolutions are not done by force but by voice, and our vote is our voice.
We enjoy freedom of speech that permits us to share our views and seek common ground, where we can work together to make our homes, neighborhoods, communities, and nation a better place to live. That freedom of speech allows us to discuss our opinions and agree on matters of importance to us. Included in this freedom of speech is the ability to select representatives that we feel will talk straight, demonstrate respect to those around them, create transparency in their actions, show loyalty to the community, deliver results that make our lives better, confront reality when something isn’t working right, listen to what people have to say, practice accountability, and keep commitments. In this Spirit of Trust, I wish to express my gratitude to everyone who voted for me in the House District 17 race. I wish to say a heart-felt thank you to all my volunteers and friends who support me in this race. You sacrifice much to help us win.
I want to also say thank you to our Service men and women, veterans, and military families for their sacrifice that protects our rights of free speech and ability to vote without fear of reprisal. Trust the power of your vote because it replaces the need for violence to bring about change that we see in other countries. Because of our military, Americans do not die when we have our revolutions at the polls – we live another day to fight the good fight.
