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?

• I am running because of my son and his generation. So they can have an opportunity to live, work, and retire in Converse
• We need to put Public Safety – your safety – first.
• s we build this city, we benefit from being able to live, work, and play near our homes. We don’t have to drive away for work and shopping. We can have full lives near our homes, just like many other communities around us.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I believe the public is best served by representatives who are open, transparent, and available. Without access to decision makers, the pubic is unaware of information that should be publicly discussed. If not, decisions made in public, but with little exposure, can have outsized impact on the lives of the entire community.

Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org. Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.
