What experiences do you have that make you a good candidate for office?

Experience in both government and the private sector including 15 years as Supt. of Motor Vehicle Parking for the City of Aurora and currently,managing our family owned retail store with my wife and daughter.

What are your top three priorities if elected?

Performing the duties of Township Clerk utilizing best practices. Providing as much transparancy to the position as allowed by law. Making myself readily available to residents and elected officials regarding issues related to the office.

Would you support freezing your taxing district’s levy until housing prices rebound? Why or why not?

The Clerk does not vote on issues that come before the Board so this question does not apply, however, on a personal level I would support a freeze unless the long term consequence of this action would prove more costly.

What one decision by the township board do you most disagree with and why?

Not aware of any.

What was the biggest accomplishment of the board in the past year?

Not applicable. Wasn“t on the board last year.

Why should voters elect you to office?

As a result of my previous employment with the City of Aurora, I am thoroughly familiar with government operations and can bring this experience to the position of Township Clerk.
