I hope to hear from you about what is happening in our district and what you need done to make it better. Tell me here.

TRANSPARENCY

I want to provide a new level of transparency to local government. A well-informed public is the key to a healthy democracy, so I plan to be in frequent contact with the press, and my constituents, to ensure all information is available about the goings on in local government.
