We need more transparency and accountability in government. First, legislators should be available and accessible to their constituents to answer questions and listen to their concerns. I am committed to meeting with all voters, because I believe that I cannot make an informed decision without hearing different points of view. Second, I believe legislators should be accountable to their voters by having their voting record more readily accessible. It should be easy for you to know what your representatives have been doing on your behalf, and I am determined to be completely transparent and accountable to you.
