Candidate for
Commissioner; County of Hamilton; 4 Year Term Starting 1/3/01

Why I am running for Hamilton County Commissioner:

Businesses and residents are leaving Hamilton County to the north and to
the south. The confidence in the present County commission has and is
eroding fast due to their questionable fiscal management policies and
lack of inclusion. It is time to change this attitude. I, as a positive
thinker and consensus builder, will move the County forward by allowing
all the citizens who wish to, to be a part of the process. It is time to
stop the closed meetings and open the doors to the public.

"I work to build a consensus on controversial issues and to be inclusive
of all ideas and positions when working towards a decision or solution."

"I am grateful for the education I received at LaSalle High School and
believe in the values instilled in me by my family and the Christian
Brothers. I try to apply those values in my public and private life.
Those being: every one of us is a creature of God and is to be respected
and served accordingly, no matter of their talents, wealth, or position
in life. I do look forward to serving in other positions in public
office and hope that I can contribute, through the grace of God, to the
betterment of our community and country."
