To the citizens of the 8th Congressional District:

Our future is in our hands. To have the government we insist on, it is up to each of us to let our representatives know what we expect. When you send me to Washington I will listen to your concerns. I will work to earn your trust. I will never lie to you.

This is a time to come together. This is no time to attack time honored institutions like public education and public servants who have given their time and energy and even their lives, as is too often the case for our warriors, police, firefighters, and others who protect us from harm.

When elected to Congress, I will do everything in my power to support ALL American workers and their families. I will NEVER forget that a good job is a good start to a good life. In Congress, I will work toward sensible, moderate government that benefits everyone, not just special interests. I will always put your needs first.

An old proverb says that "tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today." If you believe, as I do, that our strength lies in both our unity and our diversity, and that our future lies in building bridges instead of burning them, I would love to hear from you.

God bless you.
Sincerely,

Democratic Candidate for Congress
Congressional District Number 8
