In the eight years I have been on the Sublimity City Council I have learned it is a larger commitment than one night a month for a couple of hours. I hope to use my past experience by being a good mayor to our wonderful city. I feel a City Mayor must be available to the public to hear and respect their views and concerns even if you do not always agree. Decisions must be fair and based on how they will affect the future of the city as a whole. A good working relationship with city councilors, government agencies and other interest groups is a must.

My current responsibilities as a City Councilor are Sewer Commissioner, the city councils representative to the Planning Commission, and representative for the City of Sublimity on the Santiam Canyon Communication Center (9-1-1) council. I have also been involved in meetings for the city’s water service, and the Highway 22/ Cascade Highway improvements. This past year I have served as President of the Council.

I have been on the Sublimity City Council for eight years. I would like to continue to represent the citizens of Sublimity as your Mayor. Thank you for voting.
