Why should voters elect you?
"My record, experience and independence, particularly on education, transportation and budget matters. I have the maturity and background required to serve effectively on the council."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Steady, seasoned and reasonable leadership during a period of political change. Three of the strongest proponents of the education transformation efforts introduced by Superintendent Weast are leaving office: Doug Duncan, Mike Subin and Steve Silverman. The new County Council needs a member well versed and supportive of the past efforts and feisty enough to speak up for them."
