Priorities
Jim understands that in order to solve many of our everyday issues, it starts by electing a State Representative who is accessible, forward-thinking, and capable of bringing people from all walks of life together. That’s how our politics should work and how we can develop policies which offer a positive impact for our community.
Learn how Jim will fight for those in HD55 if elected to the State House.
