Pratt for state House

As a small-business owner, I am voting for Phil Pratt for state representative in District 62.

Pratt has been a mentor to me in the lawn-care and landscaping industry for over five years. Instead of being threatened by me, he views me as healthy competition and has graciously shared his experiences and insight from operating his business over two decades.

He understands how to balance a budget and he believes the taxpayer should receive the best value for each dollar. He is 100 percent pro-life and believes the answer to better health care does not include the Affordable Care Act. I will vote for him on Tuesday and I encourage others to as well, if they want to see the political landscape improve in Frankfort.
