Please remember the above list of dedicated community commitments has been 100% volunteer work! (no pay) It's all been from my heart.
I'm an effective, proven voice for common sense in local leadership. I'm open and honest. I've spent thousands of volunteer hours over two terms, making government work for the people. Much of my time has been spent doing exactly what you elected me for, listening to you, then taking your concerns to city hall for resolution.
Fairview has a tight fiscal policy and I have been part of that decision. I've consistently fought for economic development, increased recreation facilities and outreach programs to involve citizens with government.
You won't find a list of campaign promises here, designed to appease minority groups, just my promise to continue listening to everyone and do my best. Today's hot topics will move on to other issues, so pick a candidate who's experienced in multiple issues. You can be confident that I can deal effectively with every new issue that arises.
In past Fairview elections, I sought only the endorsement of the voters and that's all I seek again. You determined that I was the best candidate and honored me with your votes. In my spring 2008 County Commission race, thousands voted for me. That includes my current opponent who said she doesn't really want to unseat me now, but wants to get her name known for a more serious run in two years. I'd appreciate your vote to continue serving you.
