Questions & Answers

1. What are your qualifications for office? (50 word limit)

I have 32 years of sales and marketing experience, I own Cooper Electrical Sales. I have a degree in Management from the University of Cincinnati and I have great communication skills. I will listen to and represent the community of Wyoming as a councilman

2. What plans do you have to address your top three priorities? (100 word limit)

Concerning dialogue, I will listen to what the community has to say. This is a key element in gaining the support of the community. The Code Red phone system, the internet, improved newsletters are just three examples. As to accountability, my loyalty is to the residents; many of which I personally know, making accountability an easy task. Finances start with minimizing expenses and as a business owner I will apply proven methods to our Wyoming operations and budgets.

3. State three actions that you recommend to promote regional cooperation, and explain how you would implement each action? (150 word limit)

We need to create cooperation with our adjacent communities in the area of economic development; we are all interdependent. This can be accomplished with group interaction with all concerned and from business leaders, to property owners, to public officials of all communities adjacent to us. Public safety can be regionally shared in areas of equipment and manpower; particularly in time of disaster. Preplanning with each community how this cooperation can effectively take place would enhance regional cooperation in the time of need. Thirdly, I believe a pool of volunteers can be established among neighboring communities and shared between all, thus lower costs of professional services.
