  • Experience matters. Having 7 years experience in being a Councilman gives me a distinct advantage. No other candidate has ever held an elected office. Starting your political career as a Council President is a very difficult task.

  • Budget accountability, I currently oversee a $20 million dollar budget. As a councilman I served on the Finance Committee overseeing a $300 million dollar budget. No other candidate has this experience.
