Reasons for running | I feel i have the experience to run the City of Struthers. We need to have a mayor who has had their finger on the pulse of the city, has come up through the ranks, and has the time to do the job. |
Priorities | Finding funding to replace our main fire station. This building was opened in 1943 and has out lived its purpose. Also i want to have a stronger enforcement of city ordinances to clean up our city. Want to capitalize on the development of the Mahoning River for recreational purposes to bring people to Struthers. |
Qualifications | 27 yrs. on the Struthers Fire Dept. In my 12th. year as a councilman at large. Have served on the Finance/Legislation committee, Police/Fire committee, Zoning/Annexation committee, Community Development committee, and public Utilities committee. |
Positions on the issues | Politics has hurt this area. Elected officials has been in the news in a negative way and is hurting our true image. I will give 40 hrs. a week to show i am willing to do the best to promote my city. Training my appointments to better qualify them to do the job will also do that. |
