Statement:

It is time for a change – I am running for Benton City Council to help facilitate the growth of our city. As a Benton City resident, it has been despairing to see the rapid growth of the area yet have little to no real growth in services for our city’s expanding population. While it is easy to stand from afar and assign blame, I am choosing to do the same as when I became president of BCR. Specifically, to roll up my sleeves, recognize what needs to be done, effectively coordinate with others, and push forward to make progress happen. There are several pressing issues weighing down our city that require immediate attention – drug and thievery problems, lack of amenities for children, and limited support for small businesses. I believe that these issues are rooted in the fact that our city’s elected officials have lost the ability to work together and more so put the interests of the citizens first. It is time for the dissension of our city’s elected officials to stop, and instead unite by using the city’s resources to support our kids and make improvements to our town that benefit the entire community.

Statement:

I am running for Council Position 3 to see through the change of government that the council has set in motion during this year, and I hope the voters have approved. I feel that if we start something we should finish it and I want Benton City to become what it was destined to be, which is a gem in middle of Benton County’s wine county. Benton City has the potential to be a better place, a place that we call home and that our children feel safe walking down the street, a place that everyone helps everyone without ill will, just for the purpose of being a good person, I want you to feel like you really have a voice that is balance on council. I will be your voice and have been for many of you and I will stand up for what is right I make fair weighted choices that are what is best for our community and I hold the administrator of city accountable. I ask you to vote for me as I am the best candidate for the position and need your support to continue the good work.
