Why are you running and why should people vote for you?
Communication needs to be restored and improved between the Ambulance District and Warren County government. As a former Firefighter/EMT I am aware of the challenges our first responders face everyday. My political background can help bridge the gap between the County Government and the Ambulance District.
What are your goals if elected?
With people and businesses fleeing the "High Tax" Counties to the east, we will see more homes, businesses, industry, and traffic. Growth is inevitable and will result in more demand for emergency services, EMS, Fire, and Law Enforcement. We must be able to effectively manage this growth so we do not overextend our resources. I believe I am uniquely qualified to help guide our growth in a responsible manner. I would also want to do a detailed study on a Community Paramedic Program. These programs can help create a link between our citizens in need and the medical profession.
What issues are most pressing for your constituency?
We must maintain excellent service with the safest response time. Our personnel must be well-trained and our equipment must be in top condition. My constituency expects the Board to be Great Stewards of their tax dollars.
