Your Experience/Qualifications
I am the incumbent, and served previously as the Chairperson of the Board of Directors for Pine Eagle Clinic during Covid. I had to navigate difficult policies and meet State and Federal mandates and guidelines head on. We successfully kept the Clinic and Ambulatory services functioning throughout and after Covid. During my time as Mayor I have tackled hard situations, updated and replaced out of date ordinances and regulations, and met every issue with grace and empathy.

The most urgent needs are equipment needs, sewer improvements and repairs, ordinance enforcement remains a difficulty, and further outdated policies and ordinances needing revised and updated.
I enjoy helping my community and those in it. Halfway is proud of our family oriented and small hometown community feel. I want to improve on what we have, while maintaining the essence of Halfway.
Financing is always difficult. Some minor billing changes are being considered. But primarily we maintain space in our budget for incoming grants to finance infrastructure needs such as sewer and streets.
