Why should voters elect you?

"I offer bold and visionary leadership for the district. I have laid out a three-step plan to prepare our community for the economic future."

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

"Preparing for the economic future and ensuring that our district and county can compete for and create good jobs in a global economy. It requires that we address pressing discipline issues in our schools, public safety issues, including the area's crime 'hot spots,' truancy and carjacking, and limits on residential development growth while attracting high-quality economic development and good jobs."
