 Welcome to my website! We are lucky enough to live in the most beautiful spot in America, so I figure the website ought to measure up to the beauty of our communities. There are many miles between Washington, DC and the Central Coast, and it is my mission to lessen the gap between the Nation's Capital and the daily life of the Central Coast. This site has been set up to be user-friendly and, with you in mind, it is my hope that all of you will leave this site with your questions answered, as it is my job to represent you. So, go on and rediscover your government. If you have any suggestions about this site, please let me know.
