On the Issues

What is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?

Community planning, as it relates to getting schools built in the best locations for families, where they can keep their children together in the schools in their communities. There is a need for positive relationships between governing bodies and the community to effectively create such plans. Transportation-related issues are just as urgent and connected to the school-placement issue. There are missing road segments that need to be completed. Additionally, new roads, road-safety improvements and transportation enhancements are necessary.

Why should voters elect you?

I care about the people of our county, will work together for a positive county image and find real solutions preserving our history and culture.
