What do you see as the top three issues facing Madison County?
First, we must ensure the safety of our citizens as the destruction of chemical weapons begins at the Blue Grass Army Depot. I believe my experience as a career Army Officer will be a great asset to our residents providing information and resolving issues that will arise during this process.
Second, we must be proactive in improving the quality of life for the people of the Fourth District while maintaining financial integrity and growing our infrastructure.
Finally, we must be diligent in our efforts to provide every citizen a safe, drug free community to live and raise our children and grandchildren.
