Why did you decide to run for this office in 2025?
To bring awareness to the importance of water and inform the voters of the PGWCD and why it is important to us and to get people informed of what it does and get others involved
If elected, what will be your top three priorities in office?
Bring awareness to the voters of its existence
Make sure we do all we can to minimize any tax rates and revenues usurped from property owners.
Make sure all who are regulated are treated equally and fairly
What is an issue you believe has gone overlooked in your race and how will you address it if elected?
Currently, there appears to be no calibration of the meters they regulate which means all their data could be wrong. I would implement a system to regularly calibrate meters to insure everyone is regulated in a fair and equitable manner.
What is your position on the issue of taxpayer-funded lobbying? Please explain.
I believe voters and elected officials should be the only ones represening the voter. There should not be business interests whether taxpayer funded or not in our governmnet. We need to seperate business and government.
Why are you the best candidate for voters to support for this position?
Because I have no interest in the area being regulated as far was water is concerned. I do not irrigate nor am I in the well drilling business. Further, as a businessman I understand the importance of water, how valuable it is to our community and want to do all I can to maintain its integrity for future generations.
