VOTE411 Voter Guide

I am running for Township Supervisor because I believe local government has the greatest effect on people's everyday lives, and I want to continue making a difference at that level.

As the current Supervisor, I have worked to improve communication with residents as well as internally. I initiated the engagement of a grants specialist firm to increase revenue at a time when the federal and state governments are sending fewer dollars to municipalities.

As an elected official, I have strived to allow reasonable development that does not harm our precious lakes and woodlands. I have worked to address traffic issues, both when there is new development as well as generally.

have been involved in community organizations: the WB/Lakes Area Democrats (chair), United We Walk (co-chair), Friendship Circle, and WB Optimists (past VP).

I have a law degree and MBA.'s in Business Administration, and Bachelor's in Economics.

1) I will continue to address areas that enhance the quality of life for residents, such as public safety, lakes and woodlands, and roads/traffic. I will work within the township and other agencies such as the Road Commission to improve the quality of our roads, and address traffic safety and congestion.

2) We need to streamline our ordinances to reduce costs and delays to applicants. I support ordinance and code changes to help large and small businesses to move to or expand in West Bloomfield, without damaging our township's natural beauty.

3) West Bloomfield is a diverse community and all voices need to be heard. This provides for better decision-making.
