After hearing from a surprising number of people in my legislative district asking me to stand and fight, I have filed for re-election to the State Senate.

I recognize that with the redistricting commission’s late change, this means a GOP primary with a fellow State Senator, but the events of late make it clear that only one of us can effectively advance the causes we all claim to care about.

I’m proud of my record, both as a legislator, and as a human being. I’m glad to be able to give voters a choice this August, and I look forward to hearing from all of them along the way.

Please help us continue to fight for you!
