My record of dedicated public service is founded on over ten years of community involement serving on both local and regional committees. I bring responsible experienced leadership with a consensus approach to solving problems and addressing issues that foster cooperation and trust. As last years Mayor, I provided a leadership role on several important issues including the Youth Advisory Committee on Safety & Development, community planning forums on Danville's 2010 General Plan and appointing a task force of broad based representatives to address downtown parking.

Our small town continues to enjoy its unique rural setting and high standards as a small comfortable place to live and raise our families. In preserving our future, I ask for your support and your vote on November 7.
