Through my commitment to public service, I have been intimately involved with the issues facing cities and counties. I have a proven track record of advocating for constituents to bring people together to find common ground that results in win-win situations.
Solutions require that we bring our individual and common skills together, and work collaboratively on creative ways to solve problems as they present themselves. No one person or segment of the community has all the answers. I am committed to insuring that all people of Bear Valley Springs have a voice, are heard and their concerns considered.
