"I have seen first hand the value of education in a person’s life and will continue to support policies that enhance the educational prospects for all our young people."

Wilmington is developing into a truly great city. Others outside Wilmington are seeing this and moving here. City government must be dynamic and visionary in order to address a multitude of issues that will affect the future of our city. While government should provide certain essential services to residents and visitors, we need to also empower people to take action themselves to protect their neighborhoods and prevent the deterioration of the quality of life that can easily occur if the negative element in our society perceives that people don’t care. Joining civic associations, participating in recycling, helping and looking out for neighbors, keeping your community clean are all steps that we can do ourselves to make Wilmington the great City that it has the potential to become.
