The philosophy of this young Asian entrepreneur centers on building community.  Everywhere they go, they enjoy bringing people together and creating an evening where people can enjoy good food and good conversation.

We are now official…

You aren’t an official campaign until a volunteer gets bit by a dog.

THANK YOU David for not giving up after that second house and helping us to get the vote out.

Getting it Done!

We recorded our 3 minute run-off candidate statement tonight.  It was great to have the opportunity to talk about my priorities, perspectives and most importantly - what we are already doing to get it done!

Read Across America!

The best part of my week was reading to a 5th grade class at my elementary school.  I wasn’t sure that they would be interested in fairy tales, but one student assured me saying “it will make us feel young again!” 

Check out this video that gives a taste of the world that these kids will enter in to. 

It is our responsibility to prepare them accordingly.
