Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a concerned citizen looking forward 15-20 years to help guide the City of Corcoran on how they manage development while maintaining a small town feel.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Mindful and purposeful growth with an eye towards maximizing tax revenue.
• Strategic deployment of resources with the goal of rigorous spending oversight.
• Enhance total quality of life - for this generation and generations to come.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Balance.

1. 1 - Old vs. New - change is coming so we need to embrace it. We do not, however, have to allow uncontrolled change nor be satisfied with holding things back because we love the way things used to be.
   
   
2. 2 - create livability - walking, gathering spots, quality of life and enough commerce to support the growth of this livability.
