Why are you running and why should you be nominated? I am a small business owner with the ability to tackle any items on the agenda that might arise (large or small). Madison County Board District 21 needs someone to help the residents of the area in much needed infrastructure repairs such as street repairs and water drainage.

What is the most important issue facing your county and how would you handle it? The most important issue is property taxes. We will work within our budget and push to obtain federal monies.

What other issues do you want to focus on as a county board member? How would you approach those issues? The other issues I would focus on is water drainage in the American Bottoms. I would try to get on committees that would help me help the people who elect me.
