What is the greatest need/challenge facing the township and how would you address it?

With the continued growth in Franklin Township, we must remain fiscally responsible. As needs arise in the Township, we must carefully evaluate the needs and prioritize spending.

Which services/facilities in your township would you like to see expanded and/or changed and why?

As a Board Member, I continue to support maintenance expenses to ensure the Township facilities are maintained to prevent the need for new facilities.

What do you see, or would you like to see, regarding the future of the township? What steps would you take in pursuit of that vision?

While Township Assistance Funds are limited for residents in need, I support the continued partnerships among service entities to provide assistance and resources for our Franklin Township residents.

What should the Township Board’s role be in supporting the local economy?

To support the local economy, the Township Board needs to continue to work with the Trustee to ensure services are provided to the community efficiently, effectively and responsibly.
