There have been a lot of changes in our neighborhood since the days I attended Beaumont Kindergarten and Kennedy Grade School. I am saddened to see how government policies have replaced so many of our open spaces, trees and gardens, with big box apartments, skinny houses and row houses, inflicting density and traffic congestion on us.

I will:
Fight to maintain our neighborhood’s character (while one of my opponent’s endorsers is a leading advocate for higher density.)

Oppose government policies that lead to neighborhood destroying gentrification.

Reduce energy costs. My opponent supports foolish "cap-and-trade" which Increases your energy costs to force you to use 44% less to drive your car and heat your home. How cold will your house be with 44% less heat in the winter?

Oppose tax giveaways to urban renewal districts millionaires, while school children, police and fire departments suffer.

I Support:
School choice because disadvantaged people deserve choices too (twenty percent of teachers’ children attend private schools.)

The reduction of taxes, fees, pollution and regulations to create a healthier economy and more family wage jobs.

Further:
The government must not dictate anything about our bodies, our consumptions, or useful medical procedures.

Government provided services must not discriminate by religion, race, nationality, or sexual orientation.

The difference is clear. Instead of hurting people with schemes like cap & trade, more high density and higher taxes, I will use my proven abilities to create new ideas and translate them into reality to help people.

More liberal than a progressive, without the wasteful spending.
