Guest Column – (October 31, 2012)
November 6th is quickly approaching and we will all be happy to see the campaign ads and signs go away. Many of us have already voted, but most of us will go to our polling locations next Tuesday.
When you vote, please vote for me, for state representative, for Ohio’s 65th house district. The area includes the cities of Milford and Loveland (inside Clermont County) and the townships of Union, Miami, Goshen, Stonelick, and Wayne.
I’m running for the office of state representative so that I can continue to support and promote the conservative values of Clermont County in Columbus. My platform is very simple: Pro-Life, Pro-Gun, Limited Government, and Lower Taxes.
My MBA, with an emphasis in taxation, was earned at Xavier University. I also hold a CTP (Certified Treasury Professional), a school district treasurer’s license, and am a graduate of the Union Township Citizens’ Police Academy.
My 30 year career in the private sector has spanned four major industries: Manufacturing, Health Care Insurance, Banking/Financial, and Charter Education.
I’ve been involved with the Clermont County Republican Party since 1993. I’ve also served the Ohio Republican Party from 2004 until 2012.
When deciding who to vote for, some people like to do their own research on the candidates. Others prefer to rely on the opinions of non-partisan groups who perform a candidate vetting process. Regardless, we all look for different criteria, qualities, or aspects when making the very important voting decisions.
For those of us who feel that being pro-life is important, please consider the fact that I’m endorsed by:
