If elected, what is the legacy you hope to achieve during your tenure in office? That I left the town better than I found it.

What are the three most pressing issues facing your community and how do you plan to address them? Keeping taxes as low as possible. Cut wasteful spending. Ensure all citizens are heard and helped with issues they may have.
