Military history

I am pleased to be a candidate for Mayor of the City of Greensboro. I have lived, worked, attended school, and raised a family in Greensboro. Now I want to get directly involved in our city government, where I promise to work at rebuilding missing leadership, trust, and real civic pride that once was our hallmark. We deserve a City Council that will be trusted to be open, attentive to the important business of city government, and direct the City Manager to manage our finances and departments in a manner that leads to responsible uses of taxpayer money.
