Governing is a team sport, working alongside both the community and those in city government to support—or block—the projects, initiatives and ordinances that come up for a vote. A council member with sound judgement can bring change, but without the majority of the council on your side, you may often find yourself with merely an opinion.

​

Opinions alone don't win the day. Consensus does.

 

As your councilman, I will build bridges with my fellow council members. I will continue leveraging my relationships with city staff to mine their years of knowledge and skills. I will listen, understand, and courteously work to find common ground. It’s the only way to effect the kind of change that the community expects.
