Questions & Answers

1. What are your qualifications for office? (50 word limit)

My corporate experience as a regional manager with the Kroger Company, my legislative experience as an aide for several council members, and my private-sector experience as a successful small business owner uniquely qualify me for Cincinnati City Council.

2. How would you balance the City Budget? (100 word limit)

As a city, we must stop spending more money than we bring in. We must be ensure that the policy being driven by City Hall doesn't exceed the fiscal limitations of our city. We need to take a serious look at shared services opportunities with the county, specifically in areas where there is significant overlap, such as transportation, building and inspections, and other professional services.

3. Plan Cincinnati calls for the city to adopt a citizen engagement policy. What would you include in such a policy? (100 word limit)

City Council and the City Administration should work directly with community councils and neighborhood business organizations to develop a comprehensive plan that addresses the concerns and needs of each of the city's neighborhoods. A "one size fits all" model does not work for our neighborhoods.
