I'm seeking re-election, to continue providing poor relief, debt service and financial support to the Parks Department, Fire Department and special projects in order to provide the highest quality of life to all Carmel and Clay Township residents.
As long as we remain a viable, taxing-capable governmental entity, we will fund poor relief to those citizens within the City and Township that need our financial support; historically, we have been and will continue to be a partner to the Parks Department and Fire Department. Our responsibilities as a taxing entity have evolved over the years, but our support of and commitment to the citizens of Carmel and Clay Township remain strong.
Providing poor relief to those citizens in the most need is our primary responsibility; funding and building fire stations has historically been a huge public safety focus as well, and we will continue to provide financial support based on budget constraints and timing.
I've been an elected public official in Carmel for the past 28 years, first as a School Board member, and then as a member of the Clay Township Board; my experience speaks for itself, and I will continue to work with the community to provide the highest quality of life and public safety available within our capabilities and responsibilities.
I have also served as an appointed member of Carmel Clay Parks Department, Library Advisory Board. and The Carmel Dads Club. I grew up in Carmel and I'm committed to making my community the best it can be!!
