Why should voters elect you?
"I have a conservative approach to issues and a record of honesty and effectiveness. I am committed to making a beneficial contribution to our community."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"The quality of life in our community is at risk. Our schools are deteriorating, traffic is at a standstill and developers are searching for any and all buildable acreage. The county and state must do a better job at working together to preserve and enhance the quality of life of our community. Right now, too many projects are being handled on an ad hoc basis. I support a comprehensive approach that considers the needs of the entire community. Our community needs honest and effective leadership to address and solve these important community issues."
