Job experience that could help you be an Alderman/Alderwoman?
Working for myself, I am a bookkeeper, salesman, secretary, dispatcher, and technician. All of these hats I’ve had to wear will directly benefit me in this position.” 

Why are you running for the Derby Board of Aldermen/Alderwomen?
Frankly, I’m running out of frustration. For too long, not enough has been done to better this great city and bring us to the table, so to speak. Derby has it all — two rivers, plenty of space, plenty of access… and far too much of it is being wasted.” 

In your personal opinion, what are the two biggest challenges facing the City of Derby?
The two biggest challenges I see are the fiscal mismanagement of the current administration hindering our appeal to both the state and potential investors, and breathing life back into downtown. There are a lot of great minds on the Democratic Team this election cycle, ready to handle both issues.”
