Married to my wife since 1994, proud father of 2 and grandfather of 2 . I believe that a strong country must have strong families, and part of my job in Washington is to make sure people have the resources they need to take care of their own families.

  • Mostly re-elected R's and D's in Congress have a 16% approval rating. 16%! Congress is badly broken but I have to believe that it can be fixed. It will take take time but it starts by not wasting votes on the same R's and D's that put $$donors, $$parties, and $$government careers over the voters. It starts with you on Nov. 8th. Please check my website cannyd4congress.com for more details
  • ENERGY: We can not continue to abandon the cheap and abundant energy that drives our economy and supports our lifestyles. Domestic energy production must continue until other sources become as reliable and as cheap to use.
  • EDUCATION: Eliminate the failed Dept of Education which has overseen our global ranking drop since its inception by driving social indoctrination over education. Any federal education dollars should be used to follow the student's choice in schools, trade school or apprentice program while rebuilding our schools books, shop classes and music programs along with math, English and science

Energy, Education and Fixing a badly broken congress. When you want to fix the economy or just about anything else that is wrong with Washington it starts there. Congress has relinquished its responsibilities to unelected bureaucrats and the courts while our representatives spend their days dialing for donor dollars and holding worthless pointless hearings. We need Representatives that work for the voters over donors, political parties and big $$ government careers. We need more and smaller Congressional Districts as the founders intended and Congress abandoned in 1929 by resolution. Even in our district, it is difficult to see one person effectively representing the cities, suburbs and rural communities needs. Congress should see its number of Representatives more than doubled.

Energy: We must remain energy independent, maintaining the cheap and abundant sources that support our country while any alternatives are made as abundant and affordable, After over 50 years of unfulfilled climate crisis predictions based on inaccurate or false data I am not willing to entertain any discussion of sacrificing our economy until the ideology leaders give up their mansions, limos, jets and yachts.

Education: End the failed Dept. of Education. Education over Indoctrination, School choice for all including trade schools and apprentice programs to rebuild our workforce.

I am out of space so please check my website, canny4congress.com , for more details.
