Politicians and money do not make your candidacy valid.
So those of you who know and support me,
I thank you now.

Those of you who are here to see names and titles with the intent to make your choice when you vote, I apologize now.

Why? Because I want to be free to speak my mind, and say that which needs to be said without the shadow of political agendas, party affiliations, or a "who's who" list I will be forever indebted to.

Q: SO WHY DOES THE FREMONT ARGUS NEWSPAPER GET LISTED??
A: EASY... The FREMONT ARGUS Has "staff and reporters, they will not just say what helps me or hurts me with any real fear themselves. In fact getting endorsed by them almost makes it harder to live up to the endorsement in many ways.

The bottom line though, they are not going to expect me to kiss up to anyone, they will watch me, and what I do, what I say, and if I blow it, (which I do not intend to do) they will also be the ones who will let you know that...

They are not pushing for any specific "buddy club" or specific race, age, economic range... their job is to sell papers, and if I do my job, they will look good for endorsing me, if I don't, you will read ALL ABOUT IT in print.... to me, that's accountability via staff writers....

SOOOO..... in summary...
Like parenting, I'm not here to make friends and be cool, I'm running to make sure that education gets handed back to the children it belongs to, you make some folks mad at times, but hard choices are that way sometimes aren't they.

Vote for me and I will do my best to serve your children's interests. That is after all what it is all about is it not?

Consistancy and honest communication, what more could you ask for as an endorsement?
