Why should voters elect you?
I'm a committed, creative leader with a sense of humor and a proven track record. My experience and inclusiveness will serve us well.
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
We need to keep our streets clean and safe, reduce our energy footprint, and address our budget. The budget is not clear to us as citizens, and it also suffers under the relationship of our city to the county and the state. We have a pretty good sense of agreement on all these issues in town. Now is the time to address each effectively.
