Welcome

While campaigning for a position on Springfield City Council in 2007, I pledged that if elected, my tenure on the Council would be characterized by openness and responsiveness. This website is an attempt to follow through on that promise. I hope that it goes some way toward explaining to you what my positions are and why I hold them. I also hope that it provides you with a quick and convenient way contact me.

The people of Springfield deserve to know where I stand on issues and why I choose to vote the way I do. By clicking on the “Issues We Face” tab, you can learn where I stand on key issues confronting our community. By clicking on the “My 2008 Council Votes” tab, you can track my voting record and hear from me why I voted the way I did on particular matters that have come before the City Council.

I also want to be responsive to constituent needs and accessible to people from Springfield. To those ends, I have attempted to make it easy for you to get in touch with me via e-mail. When you click on the “Contact Me” tab, you will be provided with a form which you can use to advise me of your concerns and request my help. In instances where I am unable to help you myself, I will direct your concerns to appropriate city officials and will get back to you promptly with their responses.

I am proud to represent you and look forward to proving myself worthy of your trust and confidence. Together, we can improve the functioning of city government and make Springfield a better place.
