Basically, i focused a great deal on issues relating to jobs, education, economic development, investments in our community. Those of the things i focused on in our legislature. Why did you decide to make a run for a u. S. House seat i felt that there were issues that needed to be the os at the National Level. For example, food security. I moved the idea to the National Level under president obama. I wanted to do what i did at the state level on the National Level. The other issue is school rehabilitation.
