Q. What do you see as the biggest issue for the office you are seeking?
A. We need to bring more businesses into our city. We can do this by lowering impact fees and some code requirements.
Q. What are your qualifications for the office you are seeking?
A. I was elected to the city council in 1999 and again in 2002. I have a business in Edgewater, operating since 1988. I know what is needed and how to obtain our goals for our community. I am available on a daily basis to address any and all city issues that are the concerns of our Edgewater residents.
Q. If you win, what's the first issue you will tackle?
A. Attracting more business to our area by being more "user" friendly.
Q. If you lose, will you continue in politics?
A. I would consider running for office again, possibly mayor in two years. I would like to see Edgewater as a city we are all proud to live in. I would like to be considered as a city council official to help obtain this goal.
