Please list the highlights of your civic involvement: I have been involved in many different activities since moving to New Baden in 1971. During my time living here, I have been involved in starting many extracurricular programs. Some of those programs include: Little Dribblers, Little League Baseball, Clinton County Baseball, American Legion Baseball, and a Soccer Program. I have been a coach, officiant, tournament coordinator, and a parent as my own kids grew through the programs. I also served on the board of education for Wesclin.
Why are you running? New Baden is a part of my soul; everything I do, I do for the betterment of the village and the people that reside here.
What is the top issue in your race, and how would you address it? We are currently in the middle of several different large projects in the village. It is my desire to make sure they are followed through in a manner to better the village.
Why should people vote for you? Because I’m retired, I am more able to visit work sites during the day, ask questions, and address potential issues before they become real issues. This in turn, saves not only the village money, but also the taxpayers’ money. I am asking for your vote and the privilege to continue to serve you on the Village Board.
