Why are you seeking this office?
Having one a party rule is not in the best financial interest of the community. Having an opposition is critically important to maintain a true democracy and keep everyone accountable! Currently, Republicans have been excluded from Guilford government. The current Guilford elected officials are democrats and independents who are actually Trojan Horse democrats. There is no opposition but a rubber stamp that approves everything that the democrats propose. Guilford needs Republicans to maintain a balance and opposition! Guilford is too sophisticated to a have rubber stamp government. Electing me will keep everyone honest and financial decisions made will have to be justified!

The single most pressing issue facing my constituents is ____, and this is what I intend to do about it:
Taxes. I will not be a rubber stamp in approving every financial expenditure that’s requested. With 30 years of financial experience and previous Guilford municipal positions I don’t need on the job training and can get out running from the get-go!

What are the major differences between you and the other candidates seeking this post?
As Republican I will not be a rubber stamp and will hold everyone accountable! The other candidates are Democrats and Trojan horse Democrats. They vote as a block! There are no checks and balances! It is all one party ! They just dress differently!

What other issues do you intend to address during your campaign?
We need two parties in guilford to run efficiently and financially responsibly ! The democrats and independents are the same party they just wear different costumes!

What accomplishments in your past would you cite as evidence you can handle this job?

What is the best advice anyone ever gave you?
Always be honest, tell the truth and treat people with dignity and respect!

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about yourself and your positions?
With my Financial business experience, previous municipal experience, Planning & Zoning, Board of Finance and Pension committee, I am “hands down”the most qualified of all the candidates running for BOF!
