Explain why you are running and why you feel you are the best candidate?
Hampton s politics needs more civility. My background in business and finance means I have the skills to manage budgets. I have a master’s in diplomacy and have completed mediation training so I work well in groups and can easily communicate with departments, administration, elected officials and constituents. I m the best candidate because I grew up here and I would make Hampton proud.
