THIS CAMPAIGN:

What is the primary reason you are running for this office?

In these economic times I want to ensure that Shoreline Fire Dept. thrives and survives I also want to ensure that levy funding is spent efficiently and wisely to support Shoreline Fire in maintaining a responsible and sustainable level of service to the community.

What will be your top three priorities if you get elected and why?

I believe I just addressed this in the previous question.    

What sets you apart from the other candidates and/or previous office holders?

I have a bit of a business background and I have been involved with the Shoreline Fire Dept. for the past 26-plus years so I have very good knowledge of the daily operations which will help in making decisions.

How much money do you expect your campaign to spend on this election?

As little as possible, just enough for mailers and a few yard signs.
