For years now I have been watching the divide in our country grow larger and larger. I have watched friends, neighbors, and family even refuse to speak to each other over political differences. Why are we allowing our Representatives thousands of miles away to negatively impact our friendships, our relationships, and family dynamics because they refuse to work for us?

That’s right!  Congress is supposed to be working for us. Our current elected officials have been brilliant at dividing us to the point that we no longer remember that we are the ones that they are supposed to serve. They have changed our government from “by the people and for the people” to “for the party and by the party”.  Both parties are two sides of the same coin. They seem to be focused on what is best for them and their party and appear to care less about the average American. This points to a key reason why I am running for Congress.
