PRIOR GOVERNMENTAL EXPERIENCE: Silverton City Council

I was privileged to be appointed to the Silverton City Council. I have found that experience to be educational from a civic point of view. I served on the Zone Cape Revision Committee, The Design Review Committee and numerous others. I presently represent the city on the 911 Board of Directors. I would like to continue my service on the Council to lend my knowledge of the issues of the Silverton Gardens and land use as the city enters into Comprehensive Plan Review. I am a consensus builder and I believe that is the only way progress is made in democratic government. During my term of office I helped hire the present City Manager and saw the hiring of a new Police Chief and City Finance Officer, all of whom I believe to be great assets to the City of Silverton. I would be honored to serve the citizens of Silverton for another term.
