Questions & Answers

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

In my four years on Council I have helped lead the Galbraith exit/I-75 project, championed greater recycling and helped improve police and fire services. As a teacher and author I have taught and written about how government functions can be improved, and applied those skills to helping Wyoming.

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

Wyoming has a bright future. Our image in this region can be restored with pride, and our access to OKI funding and county funds can be enhanced. I will continue to support Wyoming's stellar record for fiscal prudence, as we provide a community with lifestyle services that really benefit our families. As law committee chair, I will help keep our safety services up to date and capably funded. I will help guard against fraud in the coming ash tree problems. And I will work to create a senior services advisory commission to help retain our most experienced community members.

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

Regional cooperation is working well for Wyoming, as illustrated by the wide-ranging effort to keep Galbraith exit open, and I will continue to be a leader with OKI and county contacts to make it happen. "Good neighbor" cooperation with Lockland improves both communities' safety, and I support shared efforts on grant applications for improving our gateway. As member of a regional gang task force and former police officer, I will continue to work on shared intelligence, sound resources for effective policing, and support for our successful youth alternative programs.
