Occupation: retired law enforcement
Background: I am a veteran having served 2 years in the US Army. I served 26 years in law enforcement reaching the top position of Chief of Police from 1989-1997. I supervised up to 25 personnel, managed budgets and worked with local government on a daily basis.
Please describe your top 2 or 3 priorities if elected:
Crime, code enforcement, professional government. Citizens want the same things, public safety, opportunity, access to government. By prioritizing these issues we will positively impact these goals of the community.
Please choose any ONE issue below and answer how you would address that issue (affordable housing, police accountability, or jobs for youth):
Affordable housing: Too much demand, too little inventory causes disproportionately high costs. Too few jobs, too little income causes too little home ownership. Too much demand, too little code enforcement leads to high rents, low quality housing. My priorities listed above address all these issues.
