Should you be elected, what are three specific areas youd like to change, address, improve or further research,and how specifically would you go about it?:

My first research would be into the city's SOP's (Standard Operationg Procedures) for all the departments. These are a valuable tool in giving a great deal of knowledge and understanding about the day to day operations. The SOP's are essential in determining if the departments are operations at their peak efficiency and if they are being cost effective with their procedures.

Their are two other areas I would like to research and see if I could find somefunding to add sidewalks around Nord middle school, and I would love to see somerunning/biking lanes added to North Main leading up to the Metro Parks and possibly on Middle Ridge Rd.

Whether for past accomplishments or future goals, why should voters elect you?

I have been a lifelong resident of Amherst and could not imagine raising my children anywhere else. I welcome the chance to give back to the coummunity help itinto a great future.With my 15 years experiance with the Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure CommissionI have had the opportunity to work for and with some amazing people and I havelearned a great deal that I beleive can benifit the residents of Amherst. My exp

eriance has not been concentrated in one area but in many such as roadway and maintenance, major construction renovations, contract negotiations, union relations, public saftey and budgeting just to name a few. The only true agenda I have for running is to help the city be the best it can in hopes our kids and one daygrandkids can enjoy it as much as we have.
