Bill Rosendahl appointed me to his Special Committee on Housing. 

I currently on the MVCC Board as Secretary and Co/Chair of the Land use and Planning Committee.  

 

Who are your primary supporters?

I have Grass Roots Support from my neighbors because I have been available to them to advocate on their Issues. Now, I feel we need always provide support to police and fire because public safety is essential.  Now, my neighbors want less traffic and need to preserve the R 1 Zoning. Low Density is very Important to this community.

 

What issue do you feel most strongly about and what is your position?

I believe strongly development must be very responsible. Therefore, I would oppose sober living arrangements unless we set fair guidelines. Now, good friend Sherrie Akiers has some very excellent suggestions and I would follow her insight and judgment.

 

What's one thing most constituents don't know about you? 

Most people do not know that my family is a housing provider.
