Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.”

– Abraham Lincoln 

I believe what Abraham Lincoln said in this quote. As your elected representative I will never compromise my Character. I always have and always will approach every decision with character, integrity, and discernment. I live my three rules:

If its' not yours, don't take it.

If its' not true, don't say it.

If its' not right, don't do it.  

​

I’m very proud of what I’ve accomplished in my three terms, 9 years, serving as your elected representative on City Council.

As a member of council, I'm only one vote of seven. However, when you're trying to decide who you want to represent your voice, consider this; which candidate has the maturity and knowledge to be a persuasive voice other councilmemebers will listen to. When working with my fellow council members I speak as if I’m absolutely right but I listen as if I’m absolutely wrong. Through this process, working together, we will continue to do amazing things for our community.

Vote Cowboy.
