A Work Horse, Not a Show Horse

I saw a Libertarian candidate who would make a good history or civics teachers, but not a governor. I saw a Democratic candidate who seemed to answer questions, regardless of subject, with the same set of attacks and no plans of her own. Finally, I saw our Governor reminding us of the real progress Indiana has achieved: a state budget in balance with a rainy day fund in place, $4 billion to fund vital transportation projects that have waited for years, new jobs created by dozens of new employers, child welfare going from the shame of the state to a model for the nation. Talk is cheap. Real accomplishments are priceless.

If I am elected state representative, I will be a work horse, not a show horse for the east and southeast sides of Indianapolis. Even though the legislature meets part-time, I will be a full-time representative for our district. This means helping potential employers make the proper connections to city and state government so that red tape can be addressed and workable solutions to issues can be found while creating jobs. It also means working with constituents who are having trouble navigating the bureaucracy of government. Political views will never be an issue when a constituent comes to me for help. I will always work for good government. This is the blocking and tackling of being a state representative. As I said before, real accomplishments are priceless.
