Questions & Answers

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

I am proud of my record of putting people first and getting things done during my time on City Council, and I will continue to be a thoughtful decision-maker, who listens and is responsive to citizens.

2. How would you balance the City Budget? (100 word limit)

We certainly need to continue to take steps to grow our tax base, while at the same time making government more lean. It's a pretty simple rule: don't spend more money than you're bringing in - and that means having sensible priorities, and putting needs ahead of wants.

3. Plan Cincinnati calls for the city to adopt a citizen engagement policy. What would you include in such a policy? (100 word limit)

We must make sure we have robust, active neighborhood community councils, and we also must do a better job of using technology to engage more people and let everyone's voice be heard. I'm proud during my time on Council to have created many opportunities for community conversation, input, and engagement.
