How would you use your position on the council to help businesses create jobs in your town? I have operated my own business for 16 years now. I will use this experience to set policies that will make it easy for businesses to come to Marana and get the help they need to be successful. We should work closer with Marana Unified School District to raise the level of education our children receive. Making sure we are educating them in areas of focus that fill the needs of manufacturers and businesses in our community.

What is your strategy for smart growth in your town? The Town of Marana has an economic road map that is broken down into 9 activity centers within its limits. This road map should be revisited and adjustments made as economic conditions change. Marana needs to be the best place in Pima county to open business, build homes and enjoy life's activities.

What is the most important issue facing your town? Waste water is the biggest issue right now. We need to be in charge of all the aspects of growth that businesses and homeowners face. I am in favor of the Town of Marana owning and operating its own waste water treatment plants. This will ensure the Towns ability to grow at a managed pace and stay fiscally sound. I will work hard to ensure the Town gets past this issue and strengthens our relationship with Pima County.
