Why should voters elect you?
"My combined military, civil service, industry and business background has instilled in me the necessary values, strengths and experiences that are required for this position."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"As a U.S. military service disabled veteran, small-business owner, husband and father, I care deeply about family values, the well-being of our children in the community and public safety. I am an advocate of maintaining a quality school system and supporting our civil-service backbone teachers and law enforcement officers. The increase of growth and infrastructure is the most urgent issue facing my city, and I plan to move cautiously yet aggressively through a combination of smart and slow growth strategies, where we can preserve our city's heritage, continue to grow and build a better city."
