I am a former paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division and currently a chaplain in the Massahusetts National Guard with the rank of Colonel, I am the father of four grown and two grandchildren. I was an effective legislator in the State of Georgia before I moved to Ashland to become the president of the Massachusetts Family Institute, where I have been a leading advocate statewide for marriage between a man and a woman - and other issues that impact families.
I promise not to raise taxes on working familiesand to get more of our fair share of Federal taxes returned to the people. I will support our soldiers serving as our first line of defense.
