Having lived in Fairview since 1995, I have watched it grow in population and diversity. Fairview needs to listen to its citizens and act on their concerns so that all of our voices are heard.
As City Councilor, I am passionate in my commitment to identify those issues, offer realistic objectives, and to utilize the experience I have gained while sitting on the Council.
There are many challenges facing Fairview , especially in the budget. With costs continuing to rise, the City faces the same budget crunch as the average citizen. I have worked with my fellow councilors to make sure our city remains fiscally secure, not only five years from now, but, hopefully, twenty years from now.
It is my responsibility as City Councilor to make sure the City is fiscally and economically sound, and the decisions we make today will impact the city and its citizens through to the next generation.
Giving my time and energy to the City of Fairview and its citizens is an honor and a privilege.
