Why I'm running

I would like to increase my involvement from the St. Michael's family to the Shrewsbury family. I think Shrewsbury is a great place to live and raise a family and I want to see it stay that way. Of course, Kenrick is the big topic, but I would also like to see more development along the Watson corridor.

I am satisfied with the way things are being ran. I would like to see what we can do to bring in small businesses as well.

I think the current group has done a fine job handling the Kenrick issue. This is definitely one of those issues where you cannot make everyone happy and you need to do what's best for the city's future.

I would like to see what we can do to bring more business to Shrewsbury and also do all I can to promote what a great place this is for a young family to raise their kids.
