l have been involved in the community since 1986. I served on the planning committee from 1986 to 1988. Several residents asked me to run for Town Council in 1988 and I served as a councilman from 1988 to 2019 when I ran for Mayor and won.

The Mayor is a volunteer position that requires dedication to the community, compassion, being supportive of the residents, hearing their concerns and being available when necessary.

We could use a local business where we could buy gas for lawnmowers or quick pick up of food items like milk and bread.

6.) If elected, what goals do you hope to achieve in your new term?

l will continue to assist in cleaning up unsafe buildings and making this community a safer place to live and make it appealing for new neighbors to move here.

7.) Is there anything that has been said about you by your opponent or others during the campaign that you would like to directly counter or respond to in this space?

In the past 2 years I as Mayor and the Town Council have been accused of stealing, lying, harassment and much more. This coming from a narcissistic person on a Facebook page is a complete falsehood. We do not get paid for our service to this community.
