| Candidate Statement:
Your support is vital to allowing me to serve you as your Commissioner for the District 6 at large seat. Together we will make Franklin County a great place to live and work.
Jobs will be one of my top priorities. We need to protect the businesses we have and retain jobs while continuing to recruit new businesses and industries so we can get our citizens back to work.
Educating our students and future workforce cannot suffer. We must provide our students and teachers the resources they need to help every child reach their full potential. Our students need the best education we can offer so they will be able to compete in the workforce.
Smart growth makes it possible for citizens to choose where and how to live, to secure good jobs, to educate their children and to be able to secure safe and affordable housing. Decisions we make today will define our tomorrow.
I believe these are goals which can be achieved by county government and citizens working together. I know I can bring professionalism and integrity back to the District 6 at-large seat.
