I am honored that the voters of Cumberland County have entrusted me with their support for another term as their commissioner.

My focus will continue to be on promoting a forward-looking county government that lives within its means by putting our communities first, and remembering that every dollar belongs to the people of Cumberland County.

In the time since taking office nearly eight years ago, my team and I are proud to have accomplished an enviable record for our citizens. We did this as a direct result of the better path chosen in my first term. With enormous financial challenges facing county government, I intend to continue promoting merit-based government that limits spending and taxes by focusing on clear priorities rather than fluff, and ensuring our efforts attain real results for every dollar spent.

I look forward to serving as part of the new Board in January and sincerely hope my elected colleagues are committed to keeping their campaign pledges about fiscal integrity and limited government.

Our county now has the proven blueprint for continued success in our hands. Our citizens deserve, and should accept nothing less.
