I am running for this position only for the betterment of our Community. I come with an open mind; want fair open communication with all the residents and employees of North Hampton.

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

I feel questions as this one are unfair and look to create controversy. I am not running against anyone; I am running for the community of North Hampton. I am not of the belief that anyone has intentionally fail our community perhaps there are some miscommunications and lost opportunities to convey messages. I will always try to make sure that communication is clear as to why and what the board is trying to accomplish.
