At the age of four, in 1969, I remember watching Apollo 11 land on the moon on a black and white tv in my grandmothers living room.

At age of 15, I worked for two years at a local grocery store as a bag boy until graduating high school.

Absolutely. Congress is not a training ground. Understanding the volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environment we live in is critical in decision making to protect, defend, and achieve our national interests around the globe. Foreign policy decisions impact our local economy.

Achieving a solid foundation of science, technology, engineering, and math education for our children to compete and win on the world stage.

I support term limits as a contract between the representative and members of their district. Unless serving in a leadership position, a representative should serve no more than four terms. If serving as a chair of a committee, two additional terms is required to maintain continuity. No one should remain in Congress beyond 12 years.
