About me

Introduction	I AM AN INDEPENDENT VOICE SEEKING TO REPRESENTING NEW YORK'S 19TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
Interests	Why am I running as an independent for a U.S. congressional seat in the New York 19th district? Because like you, I am displeased by professional politicians making ineffective legislation which does not reflect the everyday man and woman. We need a voice in congress that is outside the established Washington bubble. The voice of a person who has known what’s it like to not make the next mortgage payment. The voice of a person who experienced incredible hospital bills due to an illness, but did not have the proper insurance to pay them. The voice of a person who works with his hands, not behind a desk. I hope to be that voice. Congress, which has traditionally been the “people’s house”, has lost touch with those very people and their concerns. Like many others, I found myself complaining about the ills of the system, but frustrated by my inability to do anything about it. But I realize that I can effect change by working within the system. And with the help of those who feel like me I will succeed.
