An informed city makes us a better city.
I hit the ground running after my election to Plantation City Council Group 5 in November 2018 and I have not stopped.
And now that I’ve been re-elected via the November 2020 election, I expect to be serving residents the next four years. For those who don’t know me, welcome! There’s plenty about me on the links at the top of the page.
My activities have been an open book: I keep the public informed about what is going on in our city through a newsletter.
So, what is there to tell? I’ve worked hard to improve our city’s relationship with our schools. I learn the best practices by meeting with leaders of other cities, and talk often with other leaders.
And most satisfying, I enjoy working one-on-one with our residents almost daily, answering questions about water bills, cracked sidewalks and public safety..
I go to every public event possible, for a first-hand look at residents’ concerns. That means school award ceremonies, organizations such as the Plantation Chamber of Commerce and Kiwanis and, very importantly, neighborhood groups and HOAs.
Moving forward, I will push for economic aid for small businesses and residents as we recover from Covid-19, urge modernization of our city website for water billing and permitting and tighten code enforcement.
You placed your trust in me — twice! — and I will not forget that. Every single day.
