It has been an honor to serve as mayor of my hometown since 2013. Allow my 42 years as a small business owner, 12 years of service as your mayor, and proven record of increased economic growth, strong infrastructure, balanced budgets, and sound decision-making continue to serve you well, while we build on our accomplishments.
