Promoting Our Industries

He is constantly amazed at what we make, create and ship here in the 83rd district!  

Since taking office, Rep. Flick has toured dozens of businesses including: 

• New Trail Brewing Company 

• Prysmian Group

It’s his goal to not only promote our current industries but attract and retain even more businesses and workforce to our area.  

Finding Common Ground & Meet Me In The Middle Caucus. 

Not all of us are going to agree on every issue. And that’s okay – it’s part of human nature.  While many politicians refuse to listen or even talk to colleagues across the aisle, I believe we’re paid good money to do our jobs for all constituents – and that means rolling up our sleeves and finding common ground for causes like: 

• Strengthening our mental health system, 

• Increasing access for people and children with legitimate disabilities,  

• And finding ways to better support our kids.  

That’s why I helped form the Meet Me In The Middle Caucus.  

We don’t need to agree on everything, but we can agree that some things are above politics. 

Taking Personal Responsibility

Personally, I don’t think people should be paid before a job is done. That’s why I was the only state representatives who asked for my paycheck to be withheld until our state budget was fully passed (166 days).  

Additionally, because I believe in smaller government, I have opted not to receive the pension, 401k plan or per diem and meal reimbursement benefits available to those who hold this office. 

I also don’t believe in receiving money from businesses, special interest groups, super PACS or lobbyists.  I am the only representative that I know of that does not take money from any of the above. 

That means I speak from the heart, vote for my district, and sleep well at night.
