Many of our state roads and bridges have sat in disrepair for far too long. I-440 sat virtually untouched for thirty years while it crumbled before our eyes. Our everyday lives and businesses are impacted by increased congestion and a lack of a cohesive plan to address our regional transportation issues. As State Representative, I will make sure the roads we use to get to work, transport our kids to school, and route our emergency vehicles are well-maintained and can handle our projected growth. I will also work with local, state and federal officials to implement common sense solutions to our transportation challenges. Learn more
