What do you see as the three top issues facing Sumner?
1. Flood Control Remediation of the Puyallup, Stuck/White and Carbon Rivers. 2. Pass through traffic remediation through residential areas within the City of Sunner. 3. Lack of effective parking for the Sounder Train Service in the Sumner Vicinity

What measures would you support to keep your city living within its means?
Over the past several years sale taxes and property development fees in the north end of Sumner have fallen dramatically. Mayor Dave Enslow and city administrators have stepped forward and developed and implemented various cost saving measures without raising taxes to the residents of Sumner. I support and commend the mayor and city staff for their vision and cost cutting attributes during these tough economic times

Why are you the best candidate for this office?
I am the best qualified candidate for this office because of my extensive Skills, Knowledge and Ability's I have gained over the past 50 years either working for or with various Local,County, State and Federal Agencies or Private Corporations.These attributes have been readily applied in the decision making processes as a City council Member, over the past four years, for the Great City of Sumner.

Personal Statement:
I am not an "In Your Face" kind of Politician." You will find me behind the scenes working for you. I have never missed a council meeting or study session in the past three and one-half years. My Wife and I, of 50 years, live in a Sumner Historical Home that was built in 1880. I continue to have a historical interest in preserving as much or our town's history as possible
