Issues of Concern: The Dialogue Begins.

As I travel District 31, I ask folks to educate me on what they believe are the most pressing issues and possible solutions.

The issues most heard from the people of District 31 are identified and in no particular order. Since we would appreciate hearing your thoughts on the issues, we have separated each to its own entry.

We also invite you to tell us what other issues are of major concern to you.

As the campaign proceeds, I will continue to ask for input from the residents regarding issues impacting their way of life. That input will be posted for your comments.

I would sincerely appreciate hearing from you.
