So, let me ask: How many local data center meetings has Donald Trump or my opponent Lynn Afendoulis attended?

How many families have they listened to - some in tears as they fight to protect their farms, homes and the communities they chose to raise their families in?

Because calling people who want to protect their farmland and way of life “poor” and “backwards” is insulting and ill-informed.

I want to be honest with you about something that matters when we talk about agriculture policy: a State Representative cannot change federal policy. I cannot control federal cattle markets, federal trade policy, or every cost driving up feed, fuel, equipment, and the day-to-day expenses of running a farm.

As a township trustee, I take very seriously my duty to respect, listen to and work hard for EVERYONE in our community – regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or other differences.
