QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
How
will your qualifications best serve the needs of the community?
Should I be elected to the City Council, my learning curve will be very flat as I won't require much, if any time, to become oriented with the process, players, issues, or terminology before fully engaging in the job. My fourteen-plus years of municipal experience will allow me to provide immediate constructive input on the issues at hand as the City Council collectively formulates city policy.
Why do you wish to serve on the city council?
Huntington Beach is my home and I love living here. I feel strongly about contributing to and giving back to one's community via public service. After leaving the employment of the City of Huntington Beach in 1995, I chose to direct my public service energies towards the issue of Child Abuse. Although I now enjoy both working in the private sector and working for the cause of Child Abuse, I still miss contributing to the public process.
After falling just 210 votes on my first try in 2002, I knew I
would have to run again in 2004, when i won my seat on the City Council.
I
hope to be re-elected so I can continue on the successes my
collegues and I were able to accomplish these past four years.
