living, and most of the rest are very desirous and will
ing to work. When provided with proper resources and
opportunity, people from impoverished backgrounds
blossom and make meaningful contributions to their own
lives and to the society around them. I am willing and
desire to positively involve all citizens of District 3.
As a county commissioner, I see myself as a steward
of resources to assure that the resources are wisely and
completely used for the benefit of District 3 and Madison
County as a whole. I am running to provide a service back
to the community in which I live. I don’t have any per
sonal vendetta against an issue or problem or individual.
I simply have a genuine interest in civic responsibility.
What are three concerns you have for Madison
County? And if elected, what will you do to address
those concerns?
1. Property taxes are a concern not only for me but my
constituents. I plan on finding other means of revenue
without charging more property taxes.
2. Parks, playgrounds and recreational facilities is
another concern of mine. District 3 is growing tremen
dously with a younger generation. Children really have
no place to play besides their front yards or in the middle
of the streets. I plan to investigate grant opportunities and
partnership with other agencies to bring more recreation
opportunities in District 3 and Madison County for our
youth.
3. Law enforcement. It is imperative that our law
enforcement remains well equipped with all the neces
sary tools and resources to keep Madison County resi
dents safe. This is one of the reasons as a Hull council
member, I recently voted to supply our brave Madison
County Sheriff’s Office funding for needed tasers so they
would have the better option of using less lethal force in
their duties.
