Why should voters elect you?
"I believe in pubic service, make every attempt to respond to my constituents' needs and make legislative decisions to improve Howard County and the state."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Without better managed growth in Howard County, our quality of life, to which we have become accustomed, will suffer and ultimately affect the lives of future generations.The challenge ahead is to allow some growth without jeopardizing our excellent school system or overburdening our transportation system, to provide essential human services and to expand the needed availability of moderate income housing. Our teachers, firefighters, police and citizens that provide many county and business services deserve to live and work within the county. When people live in their community, they become invested in their community."
