"I am a businessman. I am not a politician.
I know how to get things done."
Industry & Job Creation
I plan to advocate for measured growth in our District. I have said for years that ...
"We have what the big cities don't have!"
I do not believe in changing the quaintness and sense of community that we all love about our area, but I do see a need to incentivize more businesses and industry to move into our District to create jobs for our citizens.
Our population is on the decline. Citizens are moving elsewhere because of the lack of job opportunity. Having owned a company for almost 40 years, I understand what businesses need to thrive. Let me put my skill set to work for YOU!
Infrastructure
Roads, bridges, and waterways are one major aspect businesses need to thrive. Most industries will not invest in an area unless highways are easily accessible and maintained. When roads are in good condition, everyone wins.
"I offer fresh ideas that will deliver results for our communities."
Recreation
I am a huge proponent of recreation for both our children and our adult population. When there are positive activities to keep young people busy, they are less likely to participate in negative ones. Our area has wonderful natural recreation sites already in place. Money should be invested to improve on what we already have as well as to create new outlets for youth activity.
"Education, infrastructure, industry, healthcare, and recreation all go hand in hand for a thriving community."
Education
I am a strong believer that education is key. I will promote opportunities for job training programs in our public schools and advocate for our local community colleges. Our citizens must be prepared for businesses ready to invest in our communities.
