People who know me have come to appreciate my straightforward and simple answers and explanations about the various initiatives and referendums that appear on our ballots every two years. So two years ago I mailed out a flier that described each of them.

That turned out to be the most popular mail piece I had ever done, so I thought I would do it again this year.

Two years ago we had an amazing 19 issues to vote on, compared to this year’s 8. But what we lack in quantity this year, we seem to make up in importance. So please take the time to learn more about these initiatives and thank you for taking the time to vote and to read this message.

As always, it is a pleasure and an honor to represent you at the State Capitol and I hope that you will contact me if there is ever anything that I can do for you.
