1. What strategies/improvements would you work to put in place to better equip Bollinger County for disasters like we've experienced this year (flooding, ice storms, tornadoes, etc.)?
Answer: Educational Seminars on readiness, specialized equipment for county fire department, better evacuation program.
2. What do you think the county could do to better equip individuals and businesses to respond to storm situations?
Answer: Better sirens and wrong devices.
3. What experience/ideas do you have to help Bollinger County grow economically?
Answer: As often as possible patronize our local businesses.
Ideals: Keep our local government as small as possible. People draw wages continually. Bricks, motor & blocks have an initial cost but may house employees & generate revenue for decades to come. A proper sized industry would create jobs, generate tax base and not over grow our county.
4. What makes you the best candidate for the job?
Answer: I am faith- and family-oriented. They are of most importance to me. I truly care for people and do my best to have their best interest in mind, as I make decisions for this county.
