Why should voters elect you?
Committed to Bowie's citizens; proven leadership; seasoned council veteran with over 13 years' experience; and, a practicing engineer with an analytical approach to problem solving.
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
The next council will finish the job of creating the new police department. They need to ensure that "Service with Integrity" is more than just a motto. With this addition, city hall is now too small to adequately house our dedicated staff. Construction of a new facility will be a significant undertaking that could have major negative impacts if not properly managed. While this $31 million project is long overdue, it could result in a costly white elephant if the council is not diligent. This major undertaking cannot distract council or staff from providing the excellent services that the citizens deserve.
