“As a person committed to civic and community affairs, I have always enjoyed working with people. It is my vocation and my avocation …from public relations to pastoring a congregation…God has given me a heart for people, and the desire to affect change. Representing my constituents in the senate is another manner in which I am honored to serve people.” -Darrell
