I am running for the New Jersey State Assembly because the people of the 18th District deserve an assemblyman who represents their views and ideals, not just those of a particular political party. Someone whose decisions and actions match what they say in the district.

As a father, a husband, and family man I will bring the values and interests of common sense, representing hard working citizens like you with me to the New Jersey Assembly. As a prior small business owner of several businesses, I understand and have dealt with many of the critical issues facing our state including, education, health care, crime and economic development and take the job of representing you and your family seriously. I hope to get a chance to meet many of you throughout the district as I knock on your doors, as I have in the past. I look forward to making a positive impact for the people of the 18th District and would be honored to have your support.

As a candidate for US Congress in 2006 I received over 35% of the vote with campaign spending of less than $5000. This is the same fiscal responsibility I will bring to the Assembly and the people.

I am running for the State Assembly because of New Jersey's soaring property taxes, rising health care costs. Issues such as the naming of a state dirt, lotteries to get people to vote make a mockery of our legislative system, when there are so many real concerns that affect all of us. Issues such as the impact of illegal immigration on our economy, eminent domain must be addressed; school contingency plans need to be made public in the event of a crisis. The responsibility chemical plants have to our schools and children and the protection of our neighborhoods in preventing a catastrophic event. Homeland Security must be addressed.

I look forward to participate with your legislature in finding solutions that would strengthen our economy, providing a stable tax revenue with the burden fairly distributed, ensure universal access to affordable healthcare for all those in the State, and work towards providing affordable housing for our seniors and young families.
