Economy: It is important that we effectively utilize our tax dollars. I would push for a fair allocation of county dollars to all communities, encourage additional efficiencies, and review the procurement process.
Economic Development: I am most interested in projects that will promote long-term stability in our region. Development should not only stimulate business now, but also create an environment that will encourage more business in the future. Newly created jobs will then become a permanent part of our local economy. I am also a proponent of redeveloping areas that have been abandoned instead of developing new land that could be reserved for green space.
Environmental protection: As we are a region with many different watersheds and green spaces, I would work to restore, protect, and improve these natural resources. Only by protecting and restoring our natural resources, will we all enjoy a safe and healthy place to live.
