Why did you decide to run for this office? 

- My love for the City of Covington runs deep. With great appreciation for the city I decided to run for this office because I was tired of sitting on the sideline watching. I am someone who likes to do things instead of watching things be done. I also want to be even more involved and have a positive impact in the community in which I was born and raised.

What do you believe is the biggest issue facing your municipality, and, if elected, how do you plan to address it? 

- The biggest issue facing my municipality is infrastructure. Specifically, the streets, roads, and sidewalks. I will focus on improvements in the areas that need them and adding these types of infrastructure to the areas that don’t have them but should. If elected, I will work with City Council and the Mayor to address the infrastructure needs of the West Ward.

Finally, what do voters need to know about you? 

- I want voters to know that I am here to serve as a voice for the concerns and issues of the citizens of Covington in particular the West Ward. I will take all concerns and issues that they have seriously.
