Why should voters elect you?

"Experience as an association president for seven years and a community leader who made progress, not promises, when working on the issues."

What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?

"The control of growth and the problems that it brings with more crime, congestion and the ability to properly educate our children, and having the ability to meet those needs without the burden of overtaxation. We need to tackle problems, not go around or put them off. As a former chief engineer, my job was to keep things running and keep them on budget. As a delegate, that's how I'll conduct myself."
