PRIOR GOVERNMENTAL EXPERIENCE: None

I’m running for city council to offer the people of Stayton a choice. I’ve lived in Stayton for 6 years with my wife and three children, all of whom attend public school I want to represent the average family here in Stayton. My interest lies not only in the voters in the city but the children as well. I am concerned with how the decisions of the council affect everyone, including the children.

I don’t have any experience in government, which I consider a plus. I do have experience researching and investigating issues and concerns. I also have experience making difficult decisions that can have a far-reaching and serious impact on the lives of individuals and companies.

My reason for running for city council is simple: I hope to make a difference in the way city is managed and bring new ideas to the council.
