Fairness. Integrity. 

Truth.

I believe that everyone in Sumter County deserves to be treated with the same respect, whether an individual or a business, whether a resident of The Villages or other parts of the County. Everyone deserves access to quality services, quality roads, and quality emergency and safety services. At the same time, everyone – individual or business – should pay their Fair share.

Putting My Experience
to Work for You

Thank you for the opportunity to be considered to represent you as the Sumter County Commissioner for District 1. I am a Lifelong Republican, originally from Valparaiso, Indiana, and currently live in the Village of Winifred. I am a currrent member of The Villages Republican Club and the Republican Federated Women of The Villages.

I believe that everyone in Sumter County deserves to be treated with the same respect, whether an individual or a business, whether a resident of The Villages or other parts of the County. Everyone deserves access to quality services, quality roads, and quality emergency and safety services. At the same time, everyone – individual or business – should pay their Fair share.

I will not compromise my integrity to make decisions that do not pass the Fairness test.

I believe I conduct myself with Integrity…having the qualities of honesty and strong moral principles.  And, I tell the Truth,  believing that people have the ability, when presented with facts and the truth, to understand and to make up their own minds.

 

I will:

·      Work to keep taxes low.

·      Work with, and listen to, every resident in Sumter County.

·      Balance the interests of residents and business. 

·      Make decisions that will maintain a high quality of life.
