Candidate for
Council Member; City of Cloverdale

We've shared some rough years and made some tough decisions since 2006, haven't we? But with property selling again and exciting new businesses, there's a growing feeling that Cloverdale is finally on the road to recovery! There's still plenty of demanding, even critical work to do. Examples) Getting our City on a sound financial footing with a solid reserve fund; building a vibrant, resilient local economy offering good jobs; upgrading our vital infrastructure, including all our streets; providing top notch customer service at City Hall; helping ensure SMART pulls into our Depot; creating more activities for our youth, and many other goals that must be accomplished before Cloverdale can enjoy the kind of future we all want and need.

My campaign is self-funded. I'm asking for the honor of your vote for a third term because I love our City and representing you and want to continue to work hard to secure Cloverdale's economic recovery.

No campaign promises. The surest way to predict a candidate's future is to check their past performance. Please check my "references" with fellow voters and my colleagues.
