On Tax Reform: Don't balance the budget on the backs of the middle class

The House minority leader from Del City significantly raised his profile in the past session as he led a standoff against the Republican majority over taxes, saying the controlling party was seeking to balance the budget on the backs of the middle class and working poor. He made it clear that Democrats would not be ignored and forced Republicans to invite them to the negotiating table. He is a passionate debater who has the fiery quality of a preacher.

He has been minority leader for seven years. He is the highest-ranking Democrat in the state but is term limited in 2018. This is his first attempt at statewide office.
