As you voice on city council I will:

  • Work daily to provide responsible cost effective government.
  • Compromise on issues that benefit our city and not only a single political party or special interests.
  • Concentrate on our cities image, "We are a great city, We just need to get the word out."
  • Ensure quality educational opportunities for all Aurora students.
  • Increase revenue by promoting Aurora as a destination for entertainment, dining and recreation instead of raising sales tax.
