Choose an ADVOCATE not a POLITICIAN

Thank you for looking for a better alternative in leadership.  It's a big step to realize that our political system is broken and no longer works for voters or society.   

I know our political system is set up against "the people" and the people deserves a better choice  I think I am a step in the right direction. 

I am not a politician, I am an advocate,  One who has a steady record of service to the public, without renumeration, for over 30 years.  I have fought for real people facing real problems, often created by government ambivalence to the impact of their actions on the community they serve.  

On issues like urban/suburban sprawl when residents who know what's best for their neighborhood are fighting for a say - a right - to control development.    Not all economic development is good development for neighborhoods. 

On government overreach that dilutes residents' rights. From tax levies to balance a bloated budgets to protecting our environment from littering, illegal dumping, flooding, and pollution. 

On process issues that strip residents of their earnings, their benefits, and their voice in matters that impact their lives 

My approach is to ask, to research in depth, to propose the solution to controversies.  Never is it to say, "I'm sorry, I hear you but there's nothing we can do" ( when there  ARE solutions.

As an advocate, I have no concerns but the rights of residents.  Let politicians with fat campaign coffers deal with balancing donor and resident needs.  I do not want that conflict, I do not want their money, I don't even want a paycheck.  I want to fix the problem in a manner that advances every neighborhood's safety, character, presentation of pride, and frugality. 

Thanks for looking for a better choice.  I already chose YOU - the Residents.
