What is the most important issue facing the Millersville Fire District?

The most important issue in the fire department as a whole is trust and honesty. They should be properly trained, and be able to trust each other, and work as a team for the safety and well-being of all the community and the firefighters.

What in your education or background makes you qualified for this office?

I am a high school graduate. I have completed a certified training course for board members through the fire department. I have been a former treasurer for the fire department. I also am an active supporter of the American Cancer Society in our community. I want to be involved in the safety, growth and well-being of our community.

Why are you better qualified than your opponent(s)?

I feel that a board member should be honest and be able to be impartial in their decisions for the department and not play favoritism between firefighters and other board members.
