"Today the Governor laid out his blueprint to move the state into the

future. With so many families still struggling, my focus in the upcoming

session will be the creation of good-paying jobs right here in our community. I will work with the Governor to ensure our schools receive their fair share of state aid so every child get a quality education without overburdening local taxpayers.

“In the coming months look forward to working to create a balanced budget that protects taxpayers by holding the line on spending and saying no to any new taxes.”
