- Elected Officials Must strive to run government like a business, lowering taxes and not passing needless laws that unnecessarily restrict freedom and make it more difficult to due business or for parents to be parents.

Healthcare, and Emergency Response. As a licensed healthcare provider, and expert in the field, I worked hard in my first terms to re-chapter EMS laws and bring more support to our Emergency Responders. I served on the House Commerce Committee 4 years. My background in global business, medical devices, and technology will help me bring technical expertise to this busy policy committee and represent my district well should I be elected. Our Town needs a voice on this committee to help with small businesses and to support our citizens in matters like pharmacy benefits, real estate and landlord-tenant, credit regulations, consumer protection, and occupational licensing. I am passionate about improving patient outcomes in healthcare and getting services for innovative treatment where they are needed most and will work to bring them into our communities.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
