Why I'm Running: 10 Reasons
- I am running to help make Chesapeake a great city in which to live, work, play, raise a family, experience nature and visit.
- I am running because my experience as a
Certified Financial Planner® (CFP) gives me a deep understanding of the need for fiscal accountability.
I understand the dangers of overspending.
- I am running because my experience as an athlete taught me to not stand by and wait for someone else to make the play.
- I am running because my father, a naval aviator, taught me the importance of service. I have a profound respect for our veterans and active duty service men and women and their families who sacrifice so much.
- I am running to help Chesapeake contribute to the prosperity of the Commonwealth of Virginia and, ultimately, our country.
- I am running because we need leadership that requires accountability and will eliminate irresponsible spending and excessive regulation.
- I am running because I believe smaller government does not necessarily mean less effective government.
- I am running because I see education and public safety as two of our greatest assets, and these assets should be protected and fostered.
- I am running because I believe there are innovative solutions for closing the multi-million dollar financial gap in education without sacrificing our standards of education excellence.
- I am running because history shows that whenever America has been challenged, the innovative spirit and will of the people have prevailed—not just surviving, but thriving in the face of adversity.
I have faith in the citizens of Chesapeake. I believe that when we face tough times, we should look to our people, rather than to bureaucratic systems, for solutions.
