When you have a question, problem or a concern, I’ll be available to hear it. If it’s an
issue with the city, I’ll try to resolve it. I’ll develop resources to refer you to if it’s a regional, state or federal government issue. I will also look out for you if I see a city or private sector action occurring that will negatively affect our ward. Acting proactively, sometimes a problem can be avoided before it occurs. Finally, I’ll keep in touch. I’ll do regular town halls for our ward to hear what’s concerning you, to answer questions or just keep you up with what’s going on. I’ll also keep my web site and Facebook page to provide you with current information, a calendar of events, etc. Transparency will be important in everything I do as your councilor. An informed citizen is an involved citizen.

Coming from the non-profit sector, I always had to get big results with few dollars. I’m just the same as a new small business owner. I know budgets, book keeping; have made payrolls and how to read spreadsheets.  People sometimes say I’m a penny pincher but isn’t that who you’d like managing your tax dollars?

But we exist within the boundaries of a larger county, a growing region and dynamic state. I will keep current and aware of opportunities available for joint projects like the Regional Drug Task Force, the Metropolitan Planning Council, etc. As in my non-profit and business work, I’ll network with others and find helpful resources within Winchester and outside it to benefit our citizens.
