What is the top issue in your race, and how would you address it? Brain Drain; my community is suffering an acute departure of young people with trade skills, high school, and college degrees to other counties and states. By working with young people to ensure their values are represented on the county board, I can continue to work on maintaining our young, allied population in St Clair County.
