Please describe your priorities for your term in office.
I’ve always made it a priority to represent the entire Village, not just my neighborhood, and I intend to continue doing so. I also support expanding our services as needed, while keeping costs low for our taxpayers. Furthermore, we must ensure that we’re planning for smart growth.
What would you do to promote civility and cooperative problem-solving in your community?
It is imperative that we maintain our partnership with the School and ensure that our committees are populated with diverse community representation.
What is the most pressing social service issue facing your community and what should your local government do about it?
Being a smaller community, we are fortunate not to face numerous apparent social services issues. However, we cannot overlook the ones that exist and must collaborate with the County to ensure that we are providing accurate services. Food deserts, mental health disorders, and substance abuse are just a few of the nearly invisible problems that we must not ignore.
