Meet the Candidates: A promise to serve Bay's citizens

Please exercise your constitutional rights and get out to vote on Sept. 10, our first ever Mayoral primary election. Of course, at the same time, I am humbly asking for your vote to be the next Mayor of Bay Village!

Open and accessible government is my goal. I offer my honesty, integrity and reliability. I am committed, hardworking and resourceful. My word and a handshake are as good as gold as I demonstrated with my promise to former Mayor Jim Cowles 33 years ago, a promise to serve the citizens faithfully. A promise I would like to continue keeping!

I have served Bay Village as a Police Officer since 1980. I was a building/electrical inspector for 17 years until the department was outsourced. I have worked with all city departments over the years and have a very good understanding of how each functions – or should be functioning.

A “Norman Rockwell” town like ours needs to be preserved. Lost services need to be reviewed and hopefully restored. We should never consider reduction of any safety services whether by regionalization or lay-offs. 

There will be financial responsibility and accountability under my Administration. I will listen and respect you and your right to express your opinion. 

Democracy does not stop on Election Day. It is our responsibility to ensure our government continues to work for us every day. Please vote!
