The single biggest issue in town is ______, and I plan to do this about it:

Navigating an uncertain future. With COVID-19 still an issue and the economy changing all the time and the city has to constantly be alert to the impact of events on financial affairs. COVID effect on schools and shopping habits of residents among them. We must be alert to hidden trouble and opportunities.


Critical differences between me and my opponents:

I am a holistic thinker. I don't look at issues through a bubble. I understand how events out of our control affects events within our control. The changing economy on our grand list for instance.


Accomplishments:

I have been deeply involved within the community for decades and 15 years with the Jaycees and 7 in the Devon Rotary. I have experience as a manager in both the for-profit and the non profit world. I started a business with little capital in 2011 that now services over 60 small business clients.


Other issues:

Fairness and respect. I have many friends and clients that are Republican. For the life of me I can't understand why the parties can't agree on more issues. I am willing to listen to any solution that puts the city first and is based on economic or educational common sense.


What else would you like voters to know about you?

I am a moderate Democrat. I believe the best solutions are the ones that serve the entire community. I believe the taxpayers deserve to have their hard-earned tax dollars responsibly spent.
