As a legislator, I saw how effective I could be by being transparent, posting and explaining all of my votes.

Legislation that names a specific private organization to defund (rather than all organizations that engage in a particular activity) is improper and arguably unconstitutional.

If you're going to vote yes and change the law. You have to know what's in it. You can't depend on other people.

I don't have a particular go-to political blog.

To Brian Ellis, you owe my family and this community and apology for a disgusting and despicable smear campaign.

Those of us who are pro-life should demand more from Congress. While we waste time on stuff like this, genuine legislation to protect life is ignored.

I haven't been in politics too long so that's a good thing.
