ISSUES: Economy & Fiscal Responsibility: We must reprioritize our spending in light of the current economic situation. Government must operate like any business would in tough times, doing more with less. I helped found the RSM Business Alliance, an organization with the mission to build, support, and sustain a healthy business environment in the greater RSM area, and it will be my goal as Councilman to continue this legacy to help enhance the economy of our city through business friendly policies.

Our city tax dollars should be put to the best possible use. I will never vote to establish new taxes or "fees", and I will work to reduce existing ones wherever and whenever possible.
