Battle Ground City Council Position 3

I consider it an honor to serve this great community, and humbly ask for your vote.

On The Issues

Community Focused

Growth

In the time I have lived here, the size of the city has doubled. With growth comes the challenge to maintain the small town feel of Battle Ground. Growth is inevitable, and planning for growth is required by the Growth Management Act. However, the way we grow is ours to determine. I will work to ensure that Battle Ground maintains existing infrastructure and holds developers to high standards for new development with designs that complement our existing construction and strike a balance between buildings, parks, and green spaces.

Spending

I pledge to be a fiscally conservative consensus builder. The city’s money is OUR money, and I pledge to treat the city’s budget with the same care as I do my own.

Housing

We need to proactively develop a plan to compassionately deal with the homeless issue. We do not want the problems seen in Portland, Vancouver, and Longview to come to Battle Ground. We need to help those who want help, but we cannot allow those that don’t want help to take over our parks and sidewalks.

Diversity

I am ready and willing to listen to and work with citizens of all ages, races, religion and sexual orientation. All people have value and all our citizens contribute to making our city what it is. This is a civil society, and all citizens deserve to be heard and respected.

Service Oriented

Leadership

I moved to Battle Ground in 2000 and have grown to love this community. It is truly my home. I recently retired after more than 30 years in the paper industry, and now desire to use my time to serve our city. My many years in technical roles has given me strong analytical and management skills which will serve our city well. I am an independent thinker, and my desire is to serve all of our citizens for the betterment of our city.
