Due Diligence

During a Presidential election year it is easy for us to get wrapped up in the issues that the Federal level of government faces.   We tend to pay a lot of attention to the candidates’ views and what they stand for and how the outcome of the Presidential election will effect each of us personally. 

As a candidate for Helena City Council Place 1, I urge you to do the same level of due diligence when considering your vote for your local municipal representatives.   These are people in your community, your neighbors,  who are working to make sure that you have good schools, that you live in a safe community, that you have nice roads, and the list goes on and on.  These are the issues that have an effect on your everyday life in Helena and they are not decided in Washington.

Many believe that change is good, and some cases that may be true.  But it is not fair to take a broad brush approach when considering for whom you will vote to represent you on our city council.  It is important to know the stance each individual candidate takes on the issues that are important to you, regardless if the candidate is an incumbent or an opponent to an incumbent. 

As the incumbent for Helena City Council Place 1, I ask you to look at my record and consider my platform as a part of your decision.  I am happy to speak with you personally regarding any and all issues that you feel are important.  The next four years will prove to be an exciting time for our city.  We have the opening of the new high school and other projects that will significantly enhance our already wonderful community.  I have the experience and willingness to work hard to make sure everything we do is in the best interest of the city as a whole, but will also make a difference in each individual’s daily life in Helena.
