Why should voters elect you?

"As a teacher, assistant principal, police officer and community volunteer, I have always served in the public interest of our citizens."

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

"I feel that wise growth and development is the most relevant issue facing our voters. As a resident of our county for the past 32 years, I have watched our spiraling growth with great alarm. Although economic growth is an absolute necessity, so is the wisdom to properly manage that growth. The impact of development must balance our ability to provide and maintain adequate roadways and public transportation. Residential development must also consider the bulging size of our classrooms and the detrimental effect that unbridled growth has on our fragile environment."
