My Top Issues
Attracting and retaining businesses
We need to attract job creating revenue generating businesses.
Sustainable land use practices
We need to reign in sprawl and implement policies that result in revenue generating growth rather than revenue draining growth.
Preserving agricultural land and supporting farming practices
Zoning and development policies must be changed to stop the conversion of farm land into revenue draining subdivisions.
