1.Reaching out to public to make sure they are heard. I will do this with a 2x monthly Town Hall meeting, and by walking the streets which I do every morning with my dog. 2. Making sure city staff does good "research" and more importantly the "math" before anything reaches council. I am a "research guy" and "math guy" therefore I plan to do my own research and math so I have a baseline to evaluate staffs. 3. To bring a new voice to the table - in what I call the Fifth Seat. The current council looks interchangeable most of the time. I am not your normal candidate and will hopefully push my fellow council people to look at things a bit differently.
Experience? I'm "vintage." I lived in Aspen Colorado for 14 years serving on the Commercial Core and Lodging Commission, chairing it for a number of years. Our job focused on tourism, events, dinning, and everything about the downtown area. I also did a TV show for 10 years, 3000+ interviews. We focused on local matters but because it was Aspen I have the opportunity to interview a number of celebrities, politicians, writers, and many others who came to Aspen to lecture or perform. What I am saying is the I know how to ask questions... good questions... and know how to drill down when necessary. I believe the ability to ask good questions is a skill - and most people in city government are not very good at it.
