Do you support increasing the county's sales tax by 1 percent to pay for county infrastructure projects as outlined in the county's ballot referendum? Why or why not?

Although I do not agree with all of the line items in the county's infrastructure project list, I do support the referendum. The county has eliminated many items that I previously considered wants and not needs. The county must continue moving forward improving its infrastructure.

Do you support the school district's two proposals that are also on the ballot? Why or why not?

The school board has put together two referenda for our consideration. I would have preferred one referendum that would have met and satisfied the needs of the school district and not a wish list. Therefore, I will be voting no to the questions.

What's the top issue you'll tackle if elected?

The topic issue for me is jobs. We must invest in the creation of good paying jobs for our citizens.
