Why should voters elect you?
"I am a better candidate than the Democratic incumbents and their tired ideas. My message to independents particularly is, 'Why vote for the monopoly party?'"
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Maintaining our quality of life. This has many dimensions, and includes lower real estate taxes, better health care and health insurance options, preserving green spaces in Montgomery County, good schools and decent teacher pensions, sensible transportation improvements and emerging issues like getting serious about identity theft. I pledge to continually fight excessive real estate taxes and to take comprehensive action against identity theft through my proposal called 'FFIT' — Freedom From Identity Theft."
