When Keizer Incorporated in 1982, the need for Services was Minimal and our Problems were few.

We are now faced with many problems:

City Services stretched to their Limit

Room for developement and Infill are almost nonexistent

Crime is Rivaling National Levels

Citizens are Skeptical of Government Officials and Policies

Our Policies need to be FRESH, INNOVATIVE, and CONSISTENT! The Small Town ways of doing Business must give way to Ideas that Reflect Growth, while MAINTAINING LIVABILITY.

I believe that I offer a Citizens Viewpoint to this Process.

My Ideas are based on Grassroot Concepts that put CITIZENS FIRST.

If you believe that we as Citizens DO know what is good for our City, Please Support me on November 3rd.
