Due to a health concern, I’m suspending my campaign for the US Senate. I am very grateful to everyone that has supported me during the past year, and I’m disappointed that I won’t be able to see this through to November.

I look forward to actively supporting Republican candidates and the DEGOP in their efforts to bring a conservative perspective to Dover.

I will continue to advocate for veterans, small businesses and for local control of education.
