Public Life:
I’ve lived in Greene
County for the majority of my life – proudly raising my family and
establishing my home and business here. I’ve been honored to serve
for 10 years as a representative of the people of Beavercreek on
City Council and as a Township Trustee. Greene County is a dynamic
and diverse community, including everything from farm land to office
& retail development. Future development must be balanced with
preservation of green space.
My involvement in public office has
always been about representing the average taxpayer. In fact, the
reason that I first ran for office came from frustration that my
neighbors and I couldn’t to get our voices heard on local zoning
issues!
As a result, I have worked hard to
serve as a voice of the people, and I hope to continue
to have the opportunity to represent the people - working for open,
fair and accessible decision processes while maintaining sound
fiscal responsibility as Greene County continues to grow. With your
support I can continue to serve the community as a Greene County
Commissioner.
I
voted not to pass the CEDA and TIFF agreements for “The Greene.”
Why? Because I do not believe that the County, Township and the
City of Beavercreek should be involved in the retail development
business. I am the only remaining public official that stood up and
said, “No!”
Having been elected as a Township Trustee, I worked hard to improve
township financial record keeping – following through on my campaign
goals.
Having retired, I will be working full time as a County
Commissioner, it will not be a part time job for me. I pledge to be
fiscally responsible and not spend taxpayer dollars irresponsibly.
I have always been and will continue to be accessible to
the taxpayers, I will work for you.
