Editor, Times-Union:

I write to thank Dave Wolkins for his 32 years of public service to his district and the state of Indiana. I have always admired Rep. Wolkins for his willingness to listen and stand up for people he represents, regardless of party affiliation.  He has fought for lower taxes, less government regulation and common-sense solutions to solve problems facing Hoosiers. I hope his retirement is full of happiness, joy and peace.

Dave’s example is one reason I’m inspired to run for office. Some have suggested that we need a fresh perspective, but I say we need someone who continues to have the interests of the people at heart.

I have met many of you at your door. I hope to see many more of you before primary day, if that is even possible. If elected, I will have everyone’s interest in mind. I will go to Indianapolis to represent you, the people; not to be a spokesman for Indianapolis or some regional regulation authority. Just as Dave Wolkins was a representative for you, the people, so will I if elected.
