Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a 50 year Wayne county resident,20+ years in Canton, married with four children, one serving in the Navy and one in the Michigan National Guard. I know what Wane county needs and that is wise spending with our money, oversight for government agencies and common sense and logic brought back to government. I am pro-life with three adopted children. I believe with the rise of crime the second amendment is needed now more than ever. I support the Michigan Constitution.

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?

• Improve Roads - seriously, Wayne county roads don't have to be car wrecking garbage.
• Wayne County Taxes are too high. We should keep more of our money.
• Better Health Care. We need to get healthier. We are one of the poorest health counties in the state.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I want to focus on fiscal responsibility, (Government should never spend beyond its tax revenue.) improvements in education, supporting the Wayne County Sheriffs and Homeland security.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

I have run a small business for 25 years and have experience at budgets, staffing, problem solving and working with a diversity of people. My patients come from a variety of backgrounds, religious and socioeconomic status which has been a cross section of my future constituents. I understand their concerns about Wayne County.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

I started working at 15 years old and learned the value of hard work and a dollar early in my life.

What is your favorite book? Why?

The Bible.
