WHAT'S THE BIGGEST NEED YOU HOPE TO ADDRESS IF ELECTED?

I would like to help as much I can to promote the city of Advance and try my best to increase housing. Also would like to get a factory in our area that pays good wages. (Alderman)

It would be nice if we could keep our students in this community. We need to make sure the right courses are taught so the students will be able to attend a 2-4 year College without taking courses that they should already have in grades 1-12. (School Board)

WHY ARE YOU THE BEST CANDIDATE?

I have 31 years service in the U.S. Postal Service. One of my goals was always to help others. A good candidate will listen and do the best he or she can for the person.
