Why Running: With a new Mayor being elected and most of the old council leaving, there will need to be some continuity on the Council. With my experience I feel I can hit the road running and assist the Mayor with critical issues and situations facing the City.
Top Issue Beliefs: With BRAC going on at Fort Knox, Radcliff faces a lot of changes in the City. Traffic control is a big factor. The City will need to continue the push for better traffic control. i.e. connector roads are very necessary. Communications is key Another issue is fire and police security to ensure residents are safe and secure in the city, which leads to a better quality of life. Comply with Radcliff Mission Statement which is the City of Radcliff is dedicated to being responsive to its citizens, enhancing the quality of life for all residents by providing quality services, and promoting Radcliff as a community of vision. There are so many things going on in Radcliff that it is really hard to narrow critical issues to 3. There are several issues that are just as critical. Like storm water projects. Street Paving. Recruitment of Mill Pond Business Center. Communications with Fort Knox and residents and Financial Management.
