This is my second time running for city council. Four years have gone by so fast, but not enough time to learn everything there is that runs our nice community. I’m big on enforcing the blight ordinances, Osburn is a great place to live and raise families – seeing homes and businesses keeping up a great appearance is important in my eyes.
