What is the most important issue facing Morley?

The most important issue facing Morley right now, like all other towns and cities in America, is the economic crisis. We need to bring more business into the town and welcome them.

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

I have lived in Morley most of my life. I know the people and have owned a business in Morley at one time myself. I know the hardship and struggle of trying to make something grow. I have also previously held a seat on the town board and know the procedures and protocol of the office and am willing to work hard for the citizens and help any way I can.

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

I have lived here most of my life. I have previously owned a business here. I have worked for other businesses in town. I do support other businesses in town as much as possible. I have held the office in question before. I am raising a family in Morley. I believe these reasons make me more qualified for the city council.
