Collapse all
|- Vision: I've spent the last 45 years reading books on American history, free-market economics and social sciences. I am a "Liberty First" advocate and apply that principle as a starting point.
- Voice: I'm blessed with the apply to use my voice to help other; both musically and politically. Rochester Hills has 30 resident-driven committees, boards and commissions with 130 appointed members. I've learned to listen, understand and voice their input.
- Proven Leadership: After 8 years as a citywide Council Member and 4 years as Council President, learned the meaning of servant leadership. It has been a privilege to work with dedicated city employees, Department Directors, our great Mayor, and to watch the good work performed by Homeowner Associations--often thanklessly--across our city. Leadership is action, not a position.
For other infrastructure needs, legislation enabling municipalities and counties to create local tax authorities as sources of revenue for local roads, water lines and sewer improvements creates local control and oversight.
Energy: Energy density and efficiency are the critical considerations for new generating capacity. Building energy-diffuse and intermittent infrastructure requires too much land, too many resources plus 100% back-up (almost always fossil fuel) generating capacity.
Health: The oldest baby boomers are 74. They have yet to enter assisted living or skilled nursing care facilities. This huge pending demand will require a doubling of capacity and caregiver labor. We need to address this issue today. Health insurance, health care spending, and the shortage of primary care physicians are all concerns that require attention.
Health care costs must be controlled. Consumers, with increased deductibles and co-pays, must become informed buyers of professional services and must have an incentive to economize.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
