Why Mayor?
As a leader, you are expected to inspire, motivate and make sure your people have opportunity to grow and develop both personally and professionally. I want my hometown to transition from its rust belt past into a thriving municipality that cultivates opportunities to improve the standard of living for its residents and a buzzling marketplace for its businesses. I believe it is a Mayor’s responsibility to facilitate this and that is why I am pursing this office.
