Having been born and raised in the Second District of Oklahoma, I truly understand what it means to live, to work, to play, to study, to learn and to grow in Oklahoma.  I have a deep appreciation for what the Second District has to offer.  We, the citizens of the Second District, have many opportunities to develop and enrich our lives through our own hard work and ingenuity.  When people are elected to represent us in our local, county, state, and federal government, we expect them to represent who we are and what we do.  Now, I'm not a politician, nor am I a political science major or lawyer; instead, I'm a farmer and rancher who has been greatly blessed.  I believe that I can be the truest and fairest representative of the citizens of this district; I can be the strong, conservative voice that the citizens want and need; and I can serve with honesty, integrity, and dignity.  It will be an honor to represent you!
