My many years of public service and dedication to our community make me ready to jump in and address the complex issues facing our city. I spent nearly three decades as a lawyer and trusted advisor where my work at the state level focused on making state and local government agencies and programs more accountable and more effective. I have also been a dedicated community volunteer, assisting various non-profit organizations and serving on city and school district commissions. I listen. I do my homework. Most importantly, I know how to get things done and I take a creative, collaborative approach to solving problems. I look forward to earning your trust and support as I seek this position.
