On the Issues

What is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?

My key objectives are: Economy. I believe in ensuring our tax dollars are spent wisely and encourage innovation and growth. Education.

In addition, I will work with Metro and public transportation officials to improve and expand the buses in Sully District.
