This district needs a congressman with a history and plan of fiscal responsibility. Mr. Alexander has such a track record and plan. Operating a successful law firm in this area for over 40 years, he has remained in touch with the pulse of this district and has a clear vision of the needs of this community to be represented on the House floor. Dedication to improving education and law enforcement, and promoting fiscally responsible, conservative values separate him from the other candidate in this election.
