Campaign themes
Schools not for sale
|
Our schools, property and open spaces are for the education of our children, not places for housing so developers can make money. Our children use these open spaces at our schools to play, run, and have fun. Our community uses this open land to play baseball, softball, soccer, or just have a place to relax. Our athletic fields have hosted little league champions, developed professional athletes, and hosted the cities annual fireworks show attend by thousands of people. I am the only candidate in this election opposed to such ideas and plans. |
