1. Why should voters elect you to the Elsberry Board of Aldermen? I hope the voters reelect me to continue my dedication to our community. As an educator in Elsberry I bring a unique platform to the board that not only supports the community of Elsberry but that of our school community, too.
2. What would your goals be as a Elsberry Alderman? Some goals I have as an alderman is to support our community through the new treatment facility that has been on the making for about 10 years. Additionally I hope to strengthen our police force with strength and numbers. Finally, I would like to create a better environment for communication and support between the aldermen and the community.
3. Lincoln County is experiencing unprecedented growth. What can Elsberry do better to prepare for that expanding population? I believe our community is already prepared for the unprecedented growth in Lincoln County. We have at least two new subdivisions going up and we have a great committee with the Elsberry Community Growth Association. I believe Elsberry has a lot to look forward to in the near future.
