Education: High school

Previous offices: Four years on county board

Qualifications: Being on the board for four years and living in my district all my life I know what the people want and I respect all the taxpayers in my district to trust me to make the right decisions. I have worked very hard the time I served the people of my district and will continue to do so.

Top issues: We need to bring in more jobs to the county. We definitely do not need any doors to close on any facilities, such as the Murray Center. Another issue is taxes. I have voted down every tax issue since I have been on the board and will continue to do so. These are hard times and I do not think it would be fair to raise peoples' taxes. Also we have and we have to maintain a balanced budget. To do that just takes a common sense. Don't spend the taxpayers' money if we don't have it.
