Why are you running for office?
I am running for office to make a difference in the lives of the people who live in Sheboygan. I also want to help build Sheboygan to be the strongest city for anyone who wants to live here. Whether they are low class, middle class, or high class. Anything to help the city and residents.
Cite major goals you want to accomplish if elected and how you plan to achieve those goals.
The major goals I would like to accomplish are, affordable housing, roads that need attention, and having amusement things for families to do. To achieve these goals, I would first start out with utilizing vacant buildings instead of tearing them down. This will cut the cost of building new apartments. And also vacant buildings could be used for amusements. Then using the extra funds to redo roads or alley ways that are needed.
How will you assist in bringing affordable housing development to the community?
For starters we should have been building affordable housing in first place, but utilizing vacant an unused property would be best by just upgrading the building that's vacant. could save lots of money in the budget to use for other thing's.
Discuss your experience and how it qualifies you for the position you seek.
To be honest with you I really don't have the experience in this position. I think anyone could do this job if u are willing to put up a fight to help the residents more than helping yourself. Thinking of the people first is what I like too do.
How will you assist with recruiting and maintaining talent in the community?
Go through a background check and their experience. Identify the objectives that you want to achieve then see who qualifies for that position. Also make them an offer with better pay and benefits.
