Why should voters elect you?
I have long experience with how the city works, where it has been and a sense of where it should be going.
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
Gaithersburg is changing from a small town to a city with a diverse population and more urban issues. Good leadership can guide the city through this transition, keeping the caring and friendly nature of a small town and making the most of new opportunities brought by new businesses and residents, without overloading roads or schools. The new council must be immediately ready to fill the positions of city manager and city attorney. The council needs to move forward with redevelopment in Olde Towne.
