I am seeking a return to the City Council because I believe that Turner’s opportunities are endless if we all work together toward making this a better community for all generations to come. We have a great place to live and work here in Turner. I know that if we welcome and embrace business and economic opportunities when they are at our door step; then we can lower the tax and fee burdens on individual families and still have the kind of community improvements we all would like to see.

There has been, unfortunately, a somewhat anti-business climate in Turner over the last year or two. We must turn that around and let people know that we are “OPEN FOR BUSINESS”. We must not discourage or make it difficult for businesses to relocate here. We also must make sure that these businesses meet our vision for the future of this community and Turner’s small town flavor that we all enjoy. I ask for your support in making this community a better place for all of Turner's
citizens.
