Read the answers from all candidates (who have responded).Questions & Answers
1. What are your qualifications for office? (50 word limit)
I recognize Cincinnati's untapped potential. I have been involved with, and taken leadership roles, within several organizations that focus on achieving this goal. Through the Know Theatre of Cincinnati and the Urbanists, I have seen first hand how it is necessary to bring people back to the city.2. What plans do you have to address your top three priorities? (100 word limit)
City council must work with the planning department, Cincinnati USA, community leaders, and business leaders, to identify how to bring businesses and residents back to Cincinnati. Presently, the city has enormous potential that sits vacant.City council must also work collectively with law enforcement at the city and county level to allow people to feel safe in the city.
City council must also consider new options to cut excessive spending that has plagued the city. It must consider consolidating operations with the County and competitive bidding to ensure it is getting the best value with taxpayers' dollars.
3. State three actions that you recommend to promote regional cooperation, and explain how you would implement each action? (150 word limit)
End the bickering between council members and behave in a more efficient and professional manner. Cooperation begins at the council level and must focus on what is best for the city and region.As a council member, one has the responsibility to represent the city and region. City council should be actively working to promote its businesses and bring people back within its boundaries. Council members should meet with leaders from all of Cincinnati's neighborhoods in an attempt to identify how to best utilize their resources and actively work to implement progress change.
Cincinnati is fortunate to be the entertainment, artistic and cultural center to the region. We have world class institutions, universities, hospitals, and hotels. We must continue to build upon these opportunities to achieve even great development in the city and surrounding areas. We owe it to all to make Cincinnati as vibrant as possible.
