I was asked tonight why someone should vote for me. I told them they were free to share my response, but decided I should also post it.

I believe in doing what's right and speaking up about things that are not. One of the most dangerous things a society can do is stay quiet when something is happening they don't agree with morally. I work very hard at everything I am involved in and I don't give up easily. I have been wrong, a lot of times and each time I've grown from the experience and resolved to do better.

One of my biggest concerns with the current state of the board is politics being brought into it. Regardless of what your personal political beliefs may be this is not a partisan position. It should be free from political rhetoric and opinions. Transportation is important to our community regardless of what your political views are and I think they have no place here.

I'm also concerned with sustainability of the system and ensuring there is strong leadership within the organization. I truly believe that organizations live or die by their leaders. It is the leaderships responsibility to ensure the success of the organization and shoulder the burden of its failures.

In the case of the transportation district the ultimate direction and leadership comes from the board, to the director or other executive and down to the general staff. If the district is out of compliance or failing to thrive we need to examine why and how as the board those things can be corrected. The first step is taking ownership of the shortcoming. Admitting a deficit in leadership is only a true failure if you fail to take action.
