The single most pressing issue facing our town/district is _______, and this is what I intend to do about it.

Fiscal Responsibility needs to continue. I am a huge believer in living within your means.

What are the critical differences between you and the other candidates seeking this post?

I don't know the candidate at all. I just know that I work hard for this town and the residents in it. People knew me as someone that was involved and worked to make the town better well before I ran for office. I am very civic minded.

What accomplishments in your past would you cite as evidence you can handle this job?

My constituents know I care and I work for them. I am engaged all across the city and don't do just for my district.
