to everyone who joined me at the recent IGH May Day 5K Walk & Run on May 3. In spite of a cool, breezy day, we had a record number of registrations and over $30,000 was raised for scholarships for graduating seniors at Simley High School.

In addition to legislative news and a survey, the webpage also contains information about my
