I believe that elected officials should act in a manner consistent with their oath of office and the highest standards of integrity, honesty, and selfless service at all times. That’s why I supported the Honest Leadership, Open Government Act, enacted in September 2007, to establish sweeping ethics reforms to ensure transparency in Congress.

Engaging more in the political and legislative process is the best way to affect change. We must all use our voices – as voters, concerned residents, and elected officials – to continue fighting for what we believe is best for our community, state, and nation.
