*Analyze the budget and devise a path to prosperity.

*Ensure that every dollar is spent effectively and efficiently.

*Provide an alternative traffic solution for school traffic both for the High School and Lower Elementary pick up/drop off lines.

*Support Pearl River County’s Economic Development Commission to bring jobs and opportunities to our area.

*Foster inter-local agreements with the County to lower the cost of street and infrastructure improvements.

If you are truly interested in the future of our city, please get involved, study the issues, and vote.  This is our city, it is up to each of us to do our part so that we and our children will have the very best place in which to work and live. 

My promise to you is this:  You stand up and vote for me on Tuesday, April 27th, and I will work hard to make you proud that you did.
