Should the citizens of Bellevue
decide to change the City of Bellevue from a Municipal Code City to a
Charter City, I promise to bring a fair and deliberate process to the evaluation
and possible change in our
city’s form of governance.
Having served as a two-term Council member and past Mayor of Bellevue, I will
provide valuable insight
and first hand knowledge to any deliberations in contemplating our form of
government. My hands on
experience in dealing with citizen interests citywide provide me a unique
perspective in how we can perform
government’s core services and responsibilities better. This will be viewed
with a keen eye toward the
efficiency and expense associated with any proposed changes.
Thank you for your consideration of my candidacy for the position of Freeholder.
This is truly a unique
event in the city’s history and I would be honored to represent you.
