HD25 Representative Laura Brod is retiring after eight years in the Legislature:<\/p>\n
With your support and encouragement, I focused my efforts on the issues that impacted our daily lives. My efforts were directed to policies that I believed fostered an economic climate that was conducive to job creation and economic growth. I fought against excessive regulations that choke investment in our state and undermine the innovation and creativity of our private sector to generate the type of economic climate we need and demand.<\/p>\n
Without your support, I could not have enjoyed the opportunity and the honor to serve that I have had for the past 8 years.<\/p>\n
My belief has always been that we are a state that values a citizen legislature, and that there comes a time for other citizens to serve their community.<\/p>\n
It is my belief that the time for others to serve in the Legislature for our district has come, and my time to find other challenges and ways to contribute is upon me.<\/p>\n
It is in that spirit I announce that I will not be a candidate for re-election in 2010 for the State Legislature in District 25A.<\/p>\n
There is a real change going on right now across the country. Finally, perhaps for the first time in thirty years, government is once again hearing from \u201cWe the People.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Well, that’s a drag; Brod has been leadership material in the House’s conservative caucus, and that caucus is sure to be both growing and needing leaders in the next session.<\/p>\n
But all the best, Laura!\u00a0 And thanks for you service!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
