“Our lives have been drastically changed and it’s time to realize we can no longer simply stay the course.” -Trace Johannesen
I’m not a politician, but a government servant. I actually live in Congressional District 4 where I’ve been fortunate enough to serve on Rockwall City Council, the American Legion and many other Rockwall area volunteer organizations.
Real leaders lead from the front, with confidence and trust. They don’t ask for people to follow them. Real leaders step up in the face of adversity.
Real leaders lead with a servant’s heart and not because they believe they’re entitled or want the position.
Real leaders make decisive and hard decisions with limited information and do not simply wait around to be told or to see what happens.
We have enjoyed a wonderful growth in the past few years and we’ve recently seen that threatened as an unseen enemy forces many of our friends and families out of work. The very government tasked with protecting our rights overreached based on fear and now the economy, small businesses and our friends are out of work and hurting.
Real leaders emerge in challenging times such as these. Just as I did in September 2001 when I left my job and enlisted in the Marine Corps - and in 2007 when I was called back to active duty; and in 2018 when asked to run for City Council; and this year when I went to work with the county COVID task force - I am again setting aside my personal life and comfort to represent District 4. This is yet another step in my life of continued service.
Our district deserves a real leader to continue the legacy set forth by Congressman Ratcliffe, of the people, and I’m honored to formally announce my campaign. Not because I’m seeking a title or because I think I deserve it. But because our great district deserves representation “of the people, by the people, for the people.”
