District 10 commissioners play an important role in ensuring highly effective fire protection and emergency medical services for our community. As neighboring cities continue to annex portions of District 10 it will be challenged to maintain service levels with a declining tax revenue base. Commissioners will need to work closely with the district’s partners and bring creative solutions to bear on the increasingly difficult problem of providing highly responsive, quality services at affordable cost.

A resident of District 10 for more than thirty years, my knowledge of the community and private-sector management experience provide a platform to make a strong contribution as your commissioner. The safety and protection of our families, homes, and businesses is paramount, but I will be an aggressive advocate for the district’s taxpayers and the efficient delivery of services. Thank you for your vote.
