Occupation: Account Clerk II
Previous elected office: None
Question: What are the most important issues in the village and how will you address them?
Answer: Right now is that we have a major company leaving our village and it's going to cost us a lot. There are only so many sources of revenue, so hopefully working with other members of the finance committee we can come up with some new revenue initiatives.

Question: What are the most important issues in the village and how will you address them?
Answer: Right now the most important issue is revenue. We need to come up with ways to stay within our budget. Eaton Corporation is leaving the village and will lose 191 employees and a large tax base, so what council is working on now is trying to decide where to cut expenses and how they can bring in more revenue.
