Welcome to my website, and thank you for taking the time to investigate my reelection effort for the State House of Representatives (19th District – Livonia).  Please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss the information contained in my website, or any other matter of importance to you.

As I approach reelection just 15 months into my first term as your State Representative, Michigan citizens continue to face significant challenges in this relentlessly brutal economy.  I have spent my time in the Legislature delivering on my promises to: focus on jobs,  promote common sense, and make the tough, responsible decisions that have too long been deferred.  Supporting a budget last year that reduced spending by over $1 billion was not pleasant, but necessary.   Michigan must have its own house in order before we can expect job-providers to invest in this State.

A proud Republican willing to work with anyone who has a good idea, regardless of party affiliation, I have effectively worked across the aisle as a member of the Bi-partisan Freshman Caucus – 44  representatives that began service in January, 2009.  While we won’t agree on everything, like the citizens we represent, we’ve agreed to return civility to Lansing.  I have great hope for this group as we progress from freshman to senior members after the next election claims 60 members as a result of term limits.

With the support of my family and the citizens of Livonia, I stand ready to help our community and Michigan face the tough issues that lie ahead.  Having a unique combination of experience as a business owner, elected official, and educator, as well as a proven ability to work with all citizens in a non-partisan manner, I believe I am right for the job.

I encourage you to check this website during the campaign for new information. You may seek more information about me and my ongoing work at the following major resources:
