During these challenging times, the Hillsborough County Commission needs an honest leader that has the experience, knowledge and drive to get the job done. I have a strong proven track record of integrity, working with the community, opening lines of communication and cultivating partnerships to achieve efficient and effective results.

For over 30 years I have run a successful small business. I understand how hard it is to succeed, especially in times like these. As a public servant, I consistently work hard to improve government efficiency, protect our financial stability, and grow our economy with sustainable jobs. I have spearheaded and fought for reforms to ensure a high level of public safety.

I am the only candidate in District 2 with a strong proven record of cutting budgets, improving government accountability, reducing burdensome unnecessary regulations and lowering taxes. Our campaign is not about a wish list filled with just talk, it is based on my proven track record of effective public service for over 20 years . . . Performance not promises.S
