These experiences have taught me about the challenges facing our fellow citizens.Some of my most rewarding experiences were as a board member and board chair for Workout, Ltd. A local juvenile justice program, Workout found jobs for young people with legal troubles and returned 80% of the teen’s wages to their victims. Using hard work as a teaching tool, Workout helped more than 10,000 kids and returned $2 million to our community over 30 years. The recidivism rate for these kids has been less than 7%.Public ServiceI am a concerned citizen with a passion for our community and a desire for public service. Far from a professional politician
