Welcome to my online office. It is designed to give the residents of the 20th District easy access to information about the actions taken by the state Senate, the programs offered by state government, and a variety of useful state publications. Such access helps bring about greater public awareness, and in turn, greater accountability.

Through this site, you can find out what is being done to solve problems, what services are available, and what issues are coming up for debate. You will also find helpful contact information and links to federal, state, and local agencies.

Whether you prefer to email, call, or write, please let me know any questions or concerns you have about state issues. Knowing more about your views and priorities helps me to better serve you and your neighbors.  Thank you.
