It is an honor to have been asked by Jon Fleischman to write for the FlashReport. I look forward to regularly contributing posts to this top news site covering national and state politics.
As I make frequent trips back and forth from Santa Clarita, CA to Washington, DC, I get to witness firsthand how the policies of Washington affect us back home. It is my hope this column will serve as a direct line from my computer to yours (or BlackBerry, iPhone…) to discuss these important policies and their impact on California. These posts will be unedited by Jon or FR editors and will be unaffiliated with the other regular contributors to this blog.
I continually speak with constituents in the 25th Congressional District who share their views about health care, unemployment, the economy and national security, and are passionate about events and legislation in Congress. Sometimes news reports fail to cover the various complexities of these political issues, and the FlashReport is the perfect venue to open that discussion online.
I look forward to writing and to hearing your feedback.
