Issues

  1. Taxes and Inflation - We all feel it everyday. At the gas pump. At the grocery store. When the mail comes. We work tirelessly and it seems all too often, there is more month than money. As a township trustee, I will work with our county and state officials to bring whatever relief I can to reduce our taxes and also pledge to make smart, fiscally conservative decisions when it come to spending your hard earned money.

  2. Community Programs and Engagement - Our Township, along with the Village and the DDA, does a wonderful job putting on events and programs for the community. As a township trustee, I look forward to working on and with committees to continue these traditions.

  3. Development - Growth is important. New business coming to town is important. New homes are important. Growth must also be balanced with keeping our township beautiful and safe. As a township trustee, I promise to listen to my constituents concerns regarding development and balance progress with common sense.
