Why are you running for election?

 I am running to be an independent voice on the Board of Supervisors. I bring thoughtful and practical innovation to the Forks Township Board at a time when the community faces many challenges, both budgetary and in personnel management. I am a resourceful problem solver with a common sense approach to budgetary issues doubled with a mathematical logic.

Some top campaign issues and why are they important to you?

Fiscal responsibility and transparency in governance is essential to dispel the unsettling feeling among residents that township officials are making decisions behind closed doors. Forks residents want to know what is going on and when it is going on. They need to see more detailed financial information on how their money is being spent.  I am seeking the office of Forks Township Supervisor to encourage open discussion and debate on the important issues facing the Township, to promote Forks Township as a great place to live, work, play and raise a family.
