I'm running for Los Alamos County Council because I care about the community in which I live, and about what our local, state, and federal governments are doing. That's why I have long been active on issues at all levels of government. I'm proud to have worked with Los Alamos County Councilor David Izraelevitz, State Representative James Hall and others in the recent successful campaign to keep Los Alamos County in a single legislative district. I believe we can make democratic government work best in an atmosphere of civility, honesty, and respect for all.
Los Alamos has been a good home for me, and I think we can make it better. Our local government spends a great deal of taxpayers' money every year. We need to make sure that money goes where it will do the most good. Tax revenues spent wisely on infrastructure, education, and economic development are good investments for Los Alamos, and will pay off for all of us in the long run. But we have to be totally honest with the people about the costs and benefits, and we must earn their trust if we expect people to support such investments. Take a look at some of my ideas and record on this website, and send me your ideas. I'm eager to discuss what I could do as a County Councilor, to help make this a better community.
