I will make sure that our parks stay safe for our children and for the generations that follow them. My greatest hope is that their grandchildren and great grandchildren have the same experiences that we enjoy today.

I plan on protecting the parks by putting what is best for the parks ahead of politics. I will take a more pragmatic approach to todays challenges than those that have been shown by my opponent. I plan on forming a better relationship with my fellow commissioners and other elected officials than the one that exists today because if we are going to protect this precious gift,

then we are all going to have to start working together rather than having turf wars.

My father and grandfather taught me that nothing is more important than passing on to the next generation a better world than the one we found.
