  3. I’m very grateful and glad the residents came out and supported what I’ve been doing for the past four years ... I’ve gone after a few people (as a councilman) and you wonder what the repercussions would be. But the only thing I’ve been trying to do is improve the city.

  4. This time around, the opposition was pretty stiff ... In local races, party affiliation isn’t always a winning combination. I want to thank the taxpayers. It feels good to know they feel the choices I made as a councilmember were in their best interest.
