Why are you running? I grew up in Mascoutah and have lived here most of my life. I am running for City Council because I want to bring change and a different way of thinking to the council while also remaining fiscally responsible.
What is the top issue in your race, and how would you address it? The Great Streets Project is important to the revitalization of downtown and would help with continued growth of the city in general. I support and believe in this project.
Why should people vote for you? I want to bring a new perspective to the council and will communicate with the citizens of Mascoutah regarding issues within the city and get their feedback. I want to work with local businesses to help with their continued success because they are the lifeblood of our community. I am open-minded about change/growth and willing to work with other members of the council, though we may have differences of opinion we have to work together in the best interest of the City of Mascoutah and it’s residents.
