I have great friends who are proud Republicans and our families regularly hang out together. I have great friends who are Independents and Libertarians that were at our wedding and formed their own new bonds. I have great friends who are Democrats that I still challenge on some of their positions. Politics are ideas and beliefs; however I believe people can transcend their politics and there is a way to work together and still just be people. Some ideas win, some ideas lose, but we can still trust each other and take care of each other and do what we believe is right for everyone. One thing all my friends have in common is that they are people of their word, people of their faith and we always help each other out whenever help is needed. I want to bring that same willingness to help and do good to this district.
