I am thrilled and excited to be running for Johns Creek City Council Post 3. This note is to highlight WHY I am running, HOW I will conduct myself and WHAT you can expect from me.

WHY I am running:

I am running because I know I can help us transition Johns Creek from a startup city to a mature city. I have very unique set of skills and those skill sets are directly related to the requirements of a City Council Member and the issues facing Johns Creek now and in the future. I have helped community leadership, residents and businesses for 25 years navigate the same issues we face:

Residential involvement and inclusion
Land use planning
Zoning and Permitting
Transportation
Infrastructure
Organizational Development
Policies and procedures
Economic base development
Tax digest content
Mayor and Council education, coaching and facilitation
Workforce Development
Millennial retention and attraction
Aging population

I know I can help us because I have done this before, many times, for 25 years.

HOW I will conduct myself:

I am an extremely consistent person, steady, unwavering, but willing to compromise when it is clear that is required to lead to the optimal outcome for all. Below are things you can expect from me, I will:

Find common ground and work together
Ask questions
Do my research
Ask questions again
Bring outside the box, proven sustainable ideas to Johns Creek
Make decisions that are in the best interest of our residents, businesses, and schools

WHAT you can expect from me:

The following are a few of the qualities you can expect from me when I am your Council Member. I am:

A visionary
Focused on a holistic approach
Level headed
Passionate in the pursuit of answers
Focused on fact-based decision making
Steadfast
Calm
Collaborative
A leader who leads by example
Functional in my approach
Authentic, consistent and congruent
A "bridge builder"
A person who will always hold my Council Mates and myself accountable

I will do the job you have asked me to do in the time frame you elect me to serve.

EXPERIENCE AND PLATFORM:

If you review and appreciate my qualifications and experience, resonate with my goals and respect the way I conduct myself then I would be honored to receive your vote.

When elected, I promise to serve and execute the duties and position of Council Member to the best of my ability with integrity. I will work with the Council, City Staff, and other City leadership to shape the future of Johns Creek into a Community that exceeds the expectations of its residents, businesses, and visitors.

One final thought, first and foremost, we are ALL residents of Johns Creek, unified in our love for our community and our wishes for its prosperous future. I am one of us and I will represent all of us to the best of my ability.

This is my commitment to you.

Respectfully,

The Georgia Record was relaunched in June of 2021 and has been extremely successful fighting corruption in the state named after King George of England. The original paper was started in 1899 and published into the early 20th century. In 2020, CDM (Creative Destruction Media) acquired Johns Creek Post and brought back The Georgia Record to better represent the state rather than just Johns Creek News.
