I have served in the military, so you might assume I will be voting for one particular party, but the person matters more to me than the party. That’s why I’m supporting Tom Riggs.

Riggs has had a career in uniformed service as a commissioned law enforcement ranger for the state and knows what it is like to wear a sidearm and try to keep the peace while protecting people’s rights. I encourage everyone to study the issues, and look beyond the party labels and I encourage everyone to vote for Tom Riggs this November.
