QUESTION: Why are you running for office?Â
ANSWER: I believe that the current slate of elected & appointed officials doesnât fully represent the needs of all citizens in Annetta. I want to add representation for the Meadow Park neighborhood, which is comprised of smaller lots that the town does not readily account for in executing its comprehensive plan. Currently Annetta is working without much input from the citizens of that neighborhood. I want to create a sense of community, and that begins with more civic engagement.
