We believe in:

  • Lean government.
  • Promoting private business and entrepreneurship.
  • Safe neighborhoods, no cuts to fire or police.
  • Family values.
  • Diligence in Education.

I am running because I believe the government of Portage should continue to be a role model for its citizens.  Our elected leaders should work toward managing a city free of debt, operate with lean management, demonstrate restraint by living within its means, and show minimal interference to businesses and its citizens.  Portage needs to be a regional leader now more than ever- together we can make a difference.

I believe we should encourage our local businesses and our entrepreneurs by keeping taxes low and making our voices heard to eliminate the business surcharge.  Jobs are number one now!

I believe we should promote neighborhood safety, by maintaining police and fire.  No cuts.  Every citizen and guest in Portage must feel safe and know that in an emergency help will be there.

I believe our government should continue to promote excellence and diligence in our schools.  School teachers and administrators will have my full support towards a first class education for our children, but be accountable.  The hand of the diligent makes rich, but the hand of the lazy makes poor.

Together we can make a difference.
