I promised during my campaign for City Council that I would listen and represent your concerns on the City Council; I believe I have kept that promise as evidenced by monthly Town Hall meetings I hold at Warwick High School. I now ask your support and vote in my campaign to be your Mayor.
For too long there has been a limited vision for this city that has put the good of the few before the needs of the many. My goal is for a shared vision that is reflective of all the citizens of Newport News. With your help, and that of like-minded members of the council, I intend to bring efficient, effective, and transparent government back to this city. I will encourage the City Council to demonstrate shared leadership in representing their constituencies.
While there is never enough money to do everything everyone WANTS there is usually enough money to do what NEEDS to be done. The trick has always been to differentiate between wants and needs and properly prioritize those needs. I believe I have demonstrated that vision and ability.
I thank you again for your support in the past and assure you that, when elected, I will represent all the citizens of Newport News. I promise to ensure your dollars are spent wisely for programs and services that are proven to deliver real results.
I invite your comments, recommendations, and concerns. I recognize that No ONE of us is as smart as ALL of us.
