The office of Township Trustee is the first line of government formed to assist their local population with quality-of-life environments like parks, nature trails and tennis/pickleball courts; safety resources like fire and EMT services; as well as providing resources for individuals requiring assistance with housing, food and medical services.
I am a Bachelor trained nurse, who has worked as a pediatric nurse, school nurse and before retiring as a school psychologist. I have been involved in local politics, supporting and contributing to the Democratic platform both here and in VA for several years. But primarily I CARE AND WANT TO ENGAGE IN ASSISTING MY NEIGHBORS AND THE DEMOCRATIC FOCUS OF INCLUSION AND EQUALITY.
To bring a Democrat perspective to the office, when for the past several years the office has been held by a Republican. Additionally, having lived in multiple states, my ideas and perspective may reflect a broader viewpoint and more egalitarian approach.
I do not have the broad recognition that my opponent has since he has been in the position for several years. I hope to work hard to educate myself about Scott Township as well as meet and get to know as many of my constituents as possible during this election year.
My focus throughout my married life has been my family and my children. During those years I have sat back and watched the noxious situation we are presently experiencing in Washington DC develop. Well no longer can I say “it does not affect me” or “I don’t have the time to care.” Well I have the time and I CARE. My caring looks like running for Scott Township Trustee.
