Why are you the best candidate for voters to support for this position in 2020?
I believe it is important that we have a equally represented city commission reflected upon our community’s makeup. The young adults are a significant portion of our population in our community and it is paramount to continue our ideals, values, beliefs forward in the future to help our community grow as a whole. A representative like myself can bridge the gap to advance the conservative voice and goal.
