My Philosophy

It's not about Democrats and it's not about Republicans.
It's about those who work for a living and it's about those who can't.

It's not about special interests and it's not about being photographed with the "right person."
It's about you and it's about them. It's about us.

It's not about winning an argument and it's not about publicity.
It's about those who wear work boots and it's about those who it has never been about.

It's not about our side and it's not about their side.
It's about fighting for what's right and correcting what's wrong.

It's not about pointing fingers and it's not about pounding podiums.
It's about getting fingernails dirty. It's about keeping it clean.

It's not about dreaming up excuses and it's not about waiting for others to give in.
It's about paving the way to dream and it's about never giving up.

It's not about the media and it's not about me.
It's about the citizens and it's about the state.

It's not about tradition and it's not about progress.
It's about respect for the past.

It's about what we can do now.
It's about our children's future.

But now more than ever... it's about time!
