45 years in the Highlands
Putting experience to work for the community.
“I am retired and ready to put my time and experience to work for the community.”
Concern about recent property tax increases — +/- 28% over the past three years — along with future municipal financial needs and expenditures, are some of my reasons for asking for your vote.
I raised my family here and now have grandchildren living in the Highlands. I appreciate the value of growing up connected to nature in this special place and want the same opportunity for future generations.
I have been keeping honey bees since the 1990s and am the owner of a successful farm business.
I am community-minded, fair and hard-working. I will bring a practical approach to local issues and put the community first.
I strive to be an independent, conscientious decision-maker. I will listen carefully, study the facts and be accountable for each vote. I possess no hidden agenda, only the wisdom 45 years of residing in the Highlands has taught me, along with a good measure of common sense.
