I am running for the Peoria City Council because the residents of the Mesquite District deserve better representation than they have recently been receiving.
I believe citizens deserve elected officials who represent their interests not special interests.
I believe that the residents of Mesquite deserve full and complete disclosure about development projects that will greatly and possibly adversely affect their quality of life
I believe that the citizens of Mesquite deserve better than political backroom deals.
I believe the voters deserve better than elected officials who put wealthy developers’ interests before that of the constituents.
I believe that when decisions impact their communities citizens deserve better notice, discussions and debates than the minimum that the law requires.
I believe voters deserve a City Council that respects their vote on propositions, bonds and spending initiatives.
