Campaign Launch

It's time to get the campaign rolling for the 2013 City Council Elections! I'm excited for the opportunity to serve the citizens of Centerville on the City Council.

I wanted to take a second to reiterate a few important items for this campaign:

• I love living in Centerville. I grew up here, and I think this the best place to raise my own kids. I want to make sure Centerville stays Centerville. It sounds a little cliche, but I truly believe it. On the City Council I will work to make sure the city keeps all the charm of a small town while staying competitive and strong.
• I believe in limited government. I've spoken in the past about limiting the city's "ins" into our lives. I believe city government is essential to provide basic services and meet basic needs, but I also think we need to be prudent in the way we consider new services. Centerville is a relatively small city, we don't need to be everything that larger cities are. Let's do what we can, but not forget who we are.
• I have a strong financial background which will allow me to focus on fiscal issues within the City. I have more than a decade of financial analysis experience including business analysis, budgeting, finance, lending, etc. I can work closely with the Finance Director and others to ask all the right questions, and even help provide some answers.

Over the next few weeks I will be out and about meeting with you and introducing myself to some new people. In the meantime, if you have any questions feel free to let me know. If you would like a sign for your yard I can arrange that.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I hope I have to opportunity to meet with you, and I appreciate your support.

362 S Island View Dr. 

I look forward to seeing you there.

Cottage Meetings

We have setup several cottage meetings around the city coming up over the next few weeks.  If you would be interested in hosting one or would like some information about a cottage meeting in your neighborhood let me know.  I can handle as many as possible.

In case you aren't familiar with cottage meetings here's a short run down.  These meetings are hosted at an individual's home usually.  The host will contact friends and neighbors to ask them if they would like to come over to their house to meet the candidate (in this case me), ask questions and learn about the issues.  They're usually fairly low key and pretty open.  I enjoy meeting people and this is a great way residents to meet me and become familiar.

Meet the Candidates Night

Centerville City is hosting a Meet the Candidates Night in conjunction with the League of Women Voters tomorrow night at City Hall.  Beginning at 6:00 you can mingle around to meet all the candidates then at 7:00 the formal question and answer portion begins.

I hope to see you come out and hear what everyone has to say.  It should be a great event.
