I would like to see improvement and expansion of our park facilities and recreational activities for our youth.

Community and police partnership, our police are doing a great job keeping crime in check. The community needs more direct police involvement in our community. Programs that would further these goals are neighborhood watch, security visits and evaluations, active vacation call in for police patrols and more one on one communication with residents.

We have great natural resources that can be developed for the North Mill Creek Trail Project. We can set up a walking/bicycling trail looping through our town. This would bring people into our area for day recreation and shopping.

We need aggressive business recruitment for retailers and development of the Hubbard Business Park. We would improve our job, revenue and economic stability.

I would listen to our resident concerns and ensure they are addressed with my other city council members.
