Why are you running?
I love my city. I have lived here my whole life and have raised my children here. I want to make it a better place to live.
What is the top issue in your race, and how would you address it?
Infrastructure — sidewalks, roads, water lines, and sewers. I would work with the mayor, city council and city maintenance to get more money allocated for needed repairs.
Why should people vote for you?
Because they know that I care and that I would work hard to make our city a more desirable place to live.
