1. How to bring manufacturing jobs back into the U.S.

2. Our plan to recreate a business environment where small business can flourish and jobs can be created

3. A Medical Tort Program which is  quick, simple, and efficient 

4. Our plan to reduce the cost of health care by 45% with out sacrificing quality of care

5. With 47% of American households not paying any income tax, the Bush Tax Cuts got to go.

6. Repeal the "Affordable Health Care Act".  HR 3200 does nothing to lower the cost of health care. Lowering the cost of health care is a pre-requisite to balancing every budget.

Mike's plan: Solutions that make sense!

As a young man, I seemed to be in a hurry to grow up.  Upon graduating high school I got married, enlisted in the Air Force and had three children; Attorney: Megan ,(New York, NY), Dr. Amy, (Cincinnati, OH) and Dr. Sara (Boston, MA), by the time I was 22.

 

Like many young men, I did not grow up with a specific set of goals.  I met someone, wanted to get married, and that was my total motivation for joining the Air Force.  However, joining the service was a very fortunate choice.  How else can a young man financially stand on his own two feet at 18 years of age, learn a trade and support a family?

 

After I received an honorable discharge from the service, I went to work for a family business as their truck driver, welder/fabricator, and mechanic; I still hold that CDL and it does get occasional use.

 

The GI BilI made college a possibility and a reality.  I went to night school and graduated from Western Connecticut State University, (Night School) in 1984.  After I graduated, I entered the insurance industry.  I was divorced in 1986.

 

I remarried in 1991.   In 1997, My wife JoAnn & I moved from Connecticut to Maryland, when my youngest (from the first marriage) was accepted into college.

 

Today JoAnn & I live In Ellicott City Maryland with our two children; Michael (16) and Ellen (17).  We own and operate a Trailer Leasing Business out of Baltimore.  We are a big soccer family.  I really enjoy coaching soccer and I also play in a men’s league.
