Sen. John Patrick works tirelessly on behalf of the citizens of his Senate District. Since he has been in office, both as a state representative and a senator, I have contacted him numerous times about issues I cared about. He has always responded quickly and respectfully, even though I am not registered in the same political party as he.

Sen. Patrick is not a waffler. He has been willing to take strong public positions, including writing guest columns for the newspaper. One can’t be more public than that.

He is a statesman who knows his community and is willing to fight for those things that he believes in. He is responsive to his constituents and deserves support for re-election.
