What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

I'm big into the aesthetics of the village, a clean and beautiful community is an inviting community, and that means people will want to invest and spend money in our community, and that's why I've been a committee member of the tree and beautification, and nuisance committees.

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

I think that it is the key to running a successful government for the people they must know how we are spending thier money.
