Citizen Values over Political Games

1. I care about our citizens, I care about our city, and I care about doing what makes sense: Utility bills are through the roof, Water is an ongoing agony, and There is a war on Natural Gas which I will oppose.
2. I am concerned about what is happening in our City, but we are not helpless: We must make responsible decisions about; City Development - Supporting our military, police, and fire fighters - and protecting our community.
3. Our Schools must EDUCATE our students, inspiring them to thrive... NOT Indoctrinate them with current fads and venues that do not press our students into successful futures.

City Council members are locally engaged, connected to the community, and have a deep love for the past and future of their city. An example is that as a member of the School District 20 District Accountability Committee (DAC), I interviewed principals from elementary to high school levels to ensure that future for our children through transparent accreditation of District 20 Schools.
