This is a clip from my speech at Demofest on August 14th; thoughts on leadership and why we need politicians who are focused on doing their job and not just keeping their job.

I’m happy to announce the debut of my campaign commercials, “Education Deserves a Strong Voice” and “We Need Leaders”. The ads focus on my positive message of bringing a strong voice for education to the U.S. Senate and the importance of electing leaders rather than traditional career politicians.

I am happy to report I officially announced my candidacy for the United States Senate on April 28th at Johnson County Community College in Overland Park, Kansas.

After spending seventeen years in higher education teaching and supporting students, I am taking a leave of absence from my position as Assistant Dean at Baker University to become a candidate for the U.S. Senate race. As a political outsider, I will bring a fresh perspective to Washington. I believe the people of Kansas are hungry for a candidate who is not a career politician but is an everyday individual with leadership skills and professional expertise in an area that is critically important for the future of our state and our nation.
