The15th District is blessed with some of the best hunting, fishing, boating, and camping areas in the nation. The areas are a great natural resource and a great source of pride and profit.  We need to place greater emphasis on preserving  our open spaces, the rivers, the streams, reservoirs and air quality.  We need to be vigilant and preserve the treasures of the District so that future generations will have the same opportunity as we do, to bask in the natural beauty of the 15th District Farms and Towns

We need to support the farms and towns of the 15th District.  We need to work with the farmers to ensure a level playing field for the selling of all their crops. We need to invest in clean, efficient alternative fuels production and usage solutions.  We need to provide financial support to assist our towns as they work to repair and upgrade aging infrastructure. Kain, Warner in White House Lawn, Kaine in Virginia, I believe (with your help) we have an excellent chance to win the 15th
District Senatorial Seat in November, 2007 and “Move Southern and
Central Virginia Forward” on the path that was (and is being) blazed by
Governors Warner and Kaine. National Conference, Middle East Oil, CNN is very good in News My Responsibility to You

If you are a citizen of  the 15th District and happen to reside in Mecklenburg County, you probably have a reasonable chance of meeting with your current State Senator.  You have less of a chance of meeting your current State Senator if you reside in an adjacent County.  And you have almost no chance of meeting with your current State Senator in the northern most counties.  When elected, I will continue to reside in Mecklenburg County but, I promise to set up an office in one of the most central locations and to establish a schedule of  monthly visits to the communities, towns and counties of the District.  Health Care

Large numbers of the 15th District citizens go out into the world everyday without the safety net of health insurance.  We need to develop a health system that provides citizens of all ages and economic levels access to quality, affordable health care and to do so without
Health Care unduly burdening small businesses or individuals. (I know when I decided to retire at 62, health insurance took an unhealthy bite out of my modest retirement income).

We need to work to ensure reasonably priced, quality care for the disabled and elderly in the 15th District so that family savings will not be consumed in the process.  My parents always lived frugally and had earmarked their savings for nursing home care, but they still worried as their health declined in their later years. After my father's death, my mother's need for three years of assisted living, nursing home care and medical expenses ate up almost all they had managed to save in their combined 75 or 80 productive years of work.  I would consider my family luckier than most.  As a District and State, we must do better!!  d State, we must do better!!
