The national economic recession has required everyone in the country to become more fiscally responsible. With less economic activity and lower municipal property tax receipts, it has never been more important for Hendersonville to focus on accountability and spending.

I understand that economic growth is fueled by American enterprise and business. Businesses and families alike grow when freed from uneccessary taxes that fund wasteful government spending.

I believe America's best days are ahead. Our country, founded on conservative principles and the fight for freedom, must confront the challenges of the 21st century with integrity, innovation, and determination.

Representing Ward 3 means listening to the people and doing the right thing. Government must be responsible to the people - not the other way around. Understanding the issues in our community, keeping taxes low and working effectively within our city government will ensure the future success of our beautiful City.

Preserving a family-friendly community means putting safety first which creates an atmosphere where families love to live and work. Controlled growth without compromising our delicate quality of life will be one of my key objectives. I support economic growth, especially in the small business sector, to create long-lasting jobs right here in Hendersonville.

I'm honored and humbled at the trust and confidence that my neighbors and my community have put in me by asking me to represent them in their city government. I will work hard towards seeing that Ward 3 receives the attention and resources it deserves with sound fiscal stewardship.

I respectfully ask for your vote so I can bring "our" conservative values to city hall.
