My Family and I are small town people. I have worked at Champion spark plug for 31 years .
I am a proud union member and hold a position on the bargaining committee for local 1237.- My first objective is to bring more single family homes to our community. Middletown has several overdue projects and outdated equipment that will need replacement within the next 5 years . To do this without raising taxes ? We have to increase our revenue.
I don't want investors building. I don't want low income housing and I don't want any HOA's.
Large yards and space between homes . We are a small town. We need to keep the small town vibe .while affording to survive - My 2nd objective is to reduce vacant housing. These homes are infested with ground hogs and raccoons. And bring potential health risk to our community. Many of these homes have been vacant for more than 10 years . Mowing your lawn does not keep these properties from violating city code ! We have a code and we need to enforce it.
- My last objective is community involvement. While not every complaint is valid? We the council do need to hear them . Not every issue can or will be solved ! But I will strive to get the answers even if they are not what you want to hear. HONESTY IS KEY I would also like to possibly bring back a city celebration with car show kids activities food etc ? Would be looking for a committee for this.
Our kids and Grandkids deserve a safe place to be kids . We need to know that they can go to the park, post office or even Casey's without fear.
We ran for and accepted the responsibility.
Adapt and overcome. We all have struggles
