This information is provided by the candidate

The City of Norwalk needs new leadership. I've seen our city struggle with budget issues, layoffs and personal distractions. With twenty years service as a city commissioner, community volunteer and Chair of the Tank Farm Board, I bring experience necessary to provide strong and honest leadership. As Norwalk navigates through a weak economy and selects a new city manager, I have the knowledge, experience and integrity to move our city forward.

As Chair of the Tank Farm Board, I've been a driving force in ensuring the military and pipeline company cleanup the contamination to protect our residents. With my lobbying efforts as part of the Board, the Air Force is removing the tanks, which will facilitate the site's development and bring new businesses and jobs to Norwalk.

I support our employees and will bargain fairly with their union. I'll encourage hiring from within and a fair grievance process. I will resume televising the Public Comment portion of the Council meetings.
