I am also honored to call Ohio Congressman Sherrod Brown a good friend. He has been encouraging me for years to run for the House. But the most important reason to run is the realization that, as a chiropractor in Congress, I can make a difference in people's lives. Our country is thirsty for the truth, particularly in health care. I believe we can bring both integrity and conviction to this office.
Many current issues are pivotal to our nation's future.
While the public's undeniable right to make their own health care choices will always be the one closest to my heart, other key decisions are also on the table right now. To name just a few, we must revamp Social Security, protect our planet's environmental and human resources, and chart a clear path through explosive growth in technology. We must act with integrity and vision to give our parents and our children the secure and hope-filled future they deserve. And chiropractic needs to be part of that process. My vision of service to this country is not limited to any one issue, but I do expect to have the opportunity to advance discussions about noninvasive health care options for all Americans.
