Why are you running? I was attracted to New Baden over 27 years ago, after completing my active-duty tour with the United States Air Force. I knew the village to be a close-knit, welcoming, and safe town where I could raise my family.
What is the top issue in your race, and how would you address it? Public Safety/Quality of Life are paramount to a thriving community. These issues are addressed by being receptive to input from residents, visitors and other Village stakeholders.
Why should people vote for you? All the candidates on the ballot are obviously residents of this Village and have chosen to make an effort to serve our community. I truly believe each candidate wants to do their best for the Village now and going forward.
