As parents of a 11-year-old daughter and a 9-year-old son, my wife Becky and I realized two things:

1. Nothing is more important than the future of our next generation. We must continue to focus on Jobs, Families and Education.

2. All of us who have chosen to raise our families in this great state share the same goals:

• Safe schools for our children and grandchildren.
• Well-paid, high-quality teachers whom we trust.
• A quality support network for our senior citizens who have given so much asked so little.

Together, we can achieve these goals. I will continue to work tirelessly to ensure our success. Our families, children, grandchildren and seniors deserve no less!
