1. What are your qualifications for office? (50 word limit)

Answer from James P. Stith, II:

I am not a career politician, I am just a guy who lives in a neighborhood that I feel is being neglected. I am frustrated that our voice is not being heard and I want to represent my neighbors on council and help improve our quality of life. I am just a regular guy who is passionate about our neighborhood and excited about the potential that exists. This is where my wife Jen and I have chosen to raise our family.

2. What plans do you have to address your top three priorities? (100 word limit)

Answer from James P. Stith, II:

Develop a system that will provide a long term plan for repairs and repaving. By grading each street we can project when streets will need repair or replacements.

Work with council to create a budget with long term plans for future expenses, equipment, and street replacement.

Work with the Health and Building Departments to improve the conditions of rental properties in Ward 1.
