From writing this abbreviated bio, I realize that so much of my time in our community
and county has been spent in growing good things.

Growing requires planning, initiating, and weeding
before we can harvest good results.
The County Council must use all opportunities to live within our means (fiscal)
while continuing to produce good services and grow jobs.

I will work for the citizens of District 2
to continue the level of county services that residents value and
to better those important services needing improvement.
