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'm passionate about reaching out and being accessible to every resident of Cedartown.
• An informed electorate makes the best decisions, and I enjoy the educational aspect of local government.
• Keep Polk dollars in Polk! We subsidize the counties around us too much by shopping outside our county.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I'm extremely passionate about knowing the laws and tools regarding local taxation. The most impactful job we do at the municipal level is set the budget and Millage Rates. Knowing the system is the best way to find ways to lower taxes.
