I thought incorporating Columbus and Platte County into the 1st District was a good idea.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Development in this county is always going to be an issue. Until development and zoning are handled on a regional basis, rather than each municipality left to its own devices, we will suffer from developers having the upper hand in suits and in front of zoning boards.
My federal, state, and local experience will allow me the opportunity to effectively represent the constituents of the Fourth District.
We have a wonderful district with lots of fun little stores and companies and farms.
We're representing our districts. I make decisions on my district.
My district goes a long ways across the southern part of Ohio, so just the opportunity to get to know so many people is a highlight itself, win or lose.
I think we need to start with Philadelphia and make sure that we actually get some election reform in Philadelphia. Actually, a recent election was thrown out by a federal judge because of corruption with the voting process in Philadelphia.
To give you some background, I represent the largest manufacturing district and the largest agricultural district in Ohio.
I look forward to representing the voters of District 30 and moving the state in a new direction.
I had the chance to visit all 56 counties in Montana in my pickup. You can put Washington, D.C., in one corner of our state and put Chicago in the other corner, and that's the size of my congressional district.
Congress requires states to draw single-member districts.
