FAQ
1. What is your position on residential and industrial growth in the Western District?
Growth is inevitable, but unmanaged growth is a threat to our quality of life. As a life-long public servant, I believe every new development must answer two questions: Does it pay for itself in infrastructure, and does it respect the character of our community?
We cannot continue to approve high-density projects while our schools are crowded and our water system is in crisis. My approach is simple: Infrastructure first. We must secure the resources—water, roads, and public safety—before we break ground on the next big project. I am committed to smart, sustainable growth that protects our rural heritage while building a stronger tax base for our neighbors.
2. What is your immediate plan for the water crisis in the Western District?
We need to stop the '2027 maybe' approach and move toward a unified, County-Wide Water Authority. By consolidating our resources, we can provide professional, transparent management that addresses the crisis in the Western District and beyond. Our neighbors shouldn't be trapped by failing infrastructure while waiting for a plan that's years away.
3. You talk about "Old Values"—what does that mean in a modern campaign?
It means that a man’s word and the law of the land still mean something. "Old Values" are about transparency, fiscal responsibility, and the grit to stand up for your fellow citizens even when it’s uncomfortable for the folks in power. It’s about returning to a local government that serves the people at the kitchen table, not just the people at the Board table.
4. How will you improve communication between the Board and the community?
Silence is not leadership. Currently, too many questions from citizens go unanswered. As a life-long public servant, I am committed to proactive transparency. This means regular "News letters from the District," board meetings that actually move the needle, and a Board that responds to formal inquiries within days, not weeks. If you’re brave enough to ask the question, your representative should be brave enough to answer it.
5. Are you running as a partisan politician or an independent voice?
I am running as a neighbor for my neighbors. While the political machine loves labels, the water coming out of your tap and the Constitution we all swear to uphold aren't partisan issues. I’m a "Seeker" of the facts—I’ll work with anyone who wants to fix Caroline, and I’ll challenge anyone who stands in the way of progress. My only loyalty is to the Western District and the truth.
