Answer: County Commissioners must remain good stewards of the tax dollars entrusted to them.  It is imperative that our Champaign County Commissioners act in a fiscally responsible manner and provide our citizens with efficient and effective services.  To accomplish this, we need a Commissioner who desires to serve the citizens of our community, someone who is active in numerous community organizations and who possess the business experience to maintain strong fiscal discipline. I am that person.

Answer: The most important issue facing Champaign County is to grow sales tax revenues through economic development. We must develop and sustain a viable, on-going economic development for all businesses. We must streamline and encourage all business activities whether large company growth, manpower availability and training, or that of single entrepreneurial activity.  Local government should embrace and encourage all viable ventures. We are a desirable place to live with great people and their families!
