Why would you like to be elected?
Some members of the current council and administration don't take into consideration how their decisions will affect the average working person. I want to be the voice for the average family that lives paycheck to paycheck.

What would you like to accomplish if elected?
To ensure that before any decisions are made by city council, they take into account how their decision will affect the average working family.

How do you think Internet technology will impact government services?
Positive effect. Increase the ease of communication.

What one bit of information do people not normally know about you?
I want them to know that I'm an average, working class guy that wants to represent the average working class family. I come from a family of 11 children and know how hard it is to make ends meet. I will take into consideration how my decisions on council will affect the average, working class family.
