“I've reached a time in my life where I want to give something back to this community. Also I have four sons who I want to have opportunities to grow up and stay in the county if they choose to.”
“I think it's a good example of wishing a problem away. Unfortunately, more than not, we face these issues as they arise. It's like putting out fires.”
“That is probably the toughest question for me and you can quote me on that. That's such a hard issue when you look at the frustration behind the increased volume of traffic on 107. There are no easy solutions.”

“I support it because I think we need to be on par with the state so that we can attract and retain good teachers. We need, at the very least, to look at what other counties in our area are doing.”
“I'm pretty well humbled and I feel there's a challenge ahead. I think we're going to have to be more pro-active when it comes to planning for growth.”
