My priority will be to listen to your concerns and involve you in decision-making processes. I believe this involvement goes two ways; you must also be present to be involved. Your presence means showing up at the polls and listening to commission meetings in person or online. When you have concerns about the commission performance on issues, I need to hear from you by letter, email, or phone call. I will do my best to lead with integrity, be transparent, and focus on the improvement of our Lakeland community. I understand being mayor is not about me or what I want, but what you want and need our community to be.
