Why are you the best candidate for this position? (750 characters)
I have lived in Bloomington for 25 years. Raised two children here. I love this city. It's my home. It's my opportunity to give back. The past few years it seems like government spending has increased at the federal, state and city level. We should not have double digit tax increases proposed by our city government. A majority of the current city council is ok with that. I don't support that. City government should do all it can to not waste your tax dollars. Its your money, not theirs. I support a lean city government. I support local Bloomington Business. If elected, all 100 percent of the income I earn as a council member will be donated to Bloomington Schools, Churches and Veteran groups.
If elected, what will your top three priorities be and why? (500 characters)
Work within our city budget.
Limit our spending
Keep Taxes down.
How do you plan to engage with and represent all members of our diverse community?(500 characters)
Anyone is free to email me or call. I'm not a social media fan. Seems like there is a lot of nasty things expressed there. I would rather engage in a conversation or grab a coffee. We all have different views on things. That's great, lets talk about it.
