We fought hard and we came up short. Any donations made now will go to paying off campaign debt. Thank you all for your help along the way. We fought a good fight and helped keep the focus on the issues that matter. 


"People are struggling. Together, we can help." -James Barber 

I'm not a politician. I'm just a regular guy who decided to stand up and try to make a difference in this community.

We can get angry, march, and protest in an effort to influence our elected officials, or we can become them.

 Help elect a champion for:

  • Workers
  • Clean Renewable Energy
  • Small/Local Businesses
  • Public Safety Funding
  • Affordable Housing
  • Ending Homelessness
  • Single Payer Healthcare
  • Living Wages
  • and much, much more...

Together, we can make a difference! This campaign is about we the people. I reject corporate campaign donations and its influences, so you know I will represent the people. Big money and special interests will have no place in my campaign or this office. 

We can win with your support. Your small dollar donations are so important to this effort. Thank you for your support.
