Questions & Answers

1. What are your qualifications for office?

I am dedicated to serving the citizens of Forest Park.

2. What services do you believe should be considered basic and essential for the City?

Fire department, E.M.T, Police Department, and our city leadership.

3. How would you balance the City Budget?

I would you balance the City Budget by deciding on which areas we can save the most, then use funds on what are priorities. I would encourage the city government to apply for state and federal aid.

4. Citizen engagement is important to the health of local government. In what ways do you support citizen engagement?

One way I support citizen engagement is keeping citizens informed of what is happening in city government by using various forms of media. Another way I support citizen engagement is to directly communicate with citizens at council meetings.
