KEY: *Incumbent
Georgetown City Council, District 3
If elected, what are your top priorities for the city of Georgetown? My priorities are slow and sensible growth, supporting our police and other first-responders, better traffic flow, water solutions and bringing an engineering perspective to the council. Georgetown is a great place to live, work, play and raise a family and I intend to keep it that way.
What uniquely qualifies you for this position? I have an engineering background, a breadth of experience living in eleven different states and two foreign countries, customer support skills developed as director of Public Works, policy development and implementation experience as a senior Army officer, and a belief that there are no government funded programs, only tax-payer funded. I have served on past city planning commission and city council. Chair of Sun City nominating committee, liaison to Sun City finance committee, chair of the city of Georgetown’s ethics commission, member of Georgetown legislative task force, member of Georgetown’s strategic partnership committee, graduate of Georgetown Leadership Academy and Rotary.
