1. Why do you think voters should vote for you?

I will be here during the winter months for the roads to be properly plowed and repaired. With the education I attained, I will enable cost-cutting methods. None of the trucks are four-wheel drive to maintain the roads. The roads will have to be filled with adequate amounts of gravel that also need a crown built up in specific areas so that water can run off, and not freeze, or break up the road. The side of the roads are higher than when the road is being plowed so that the soil is removed.

2. Cite two examples of what you would improve if elected.

I would have a five-year upgrade for the roads to bring them up to the quality of Murray Road. We have eight trucks with six plows and only three drivers. What is wrong with this answer? Plus, there are multiple plows for trucks that the township doesn't have. What is wrong with this picture? This is where business administration training will be needed.

3. Cite two examples of what your board does well.

Murray Road is a well taken care of road that is properly maintained and plowed. The top notch road in our township. I want to help make the other roads as good as Murray.
