Why are you seeking elective office?

As a small business owner who has served in other elected positions, I am well aware of how government "works" and know that it must constantly be held in check. Spending should always be on needs versus wants in order to keep costs down and prevent unnecessary increases in taxes.

The single most pressing issue facing our (board, district, etc.) is _______, and this is what I intend to do about it.

Currently, it is a large tax increase. If elected, I will continue to work toward a reduction in our taxes.

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

I am typically always looking for ways to do things differently in order to save money or to create a more efficient and effective operation to achieve that same goal. I feel that others are more willing to spend taxpayer money to maintain the status quo.

If you are a challenger, in what way has the current board or officeholder failed the community (or district or constituency)

How do you think local officials performed in responding to the coronavirus? What if anything would you have done differently?

I believe everyone has tried to do their best given the circumstances. Even though it may have been all over the board and contradictory at times, it's not an easy situation to deal with. There are so many things that could have been done differently, however doing so may not have changed a thing.

Describe the other issues that define your campaign platform.

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

My prior service as State Representative, City Alderman, and Town Councilor, as well as my time in the U.S. Army

The best advice ever shared with me was:

Be yourself, do the best you can, and keep your word.

What else would you like voters to know about yourself and your positions?
