In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“I'm Dr. John Cowan - As a doctor and a small business owner, I've spent my life solving serious problems -- not creating them. My career has been spent in operating rooms where there's no room for excuses. You find solutions when lives are on the line. It's time to send in the doctor and give a dose of common sense to Washington.”
