My Vision for Margate...

I am excited to be able to use my previous Margate government experience to cultivate an atmosphere fostering professionalism, respect, and civility that encourages vibrant communication, collaboration, and compromise! My vision for Margate is all about:

- Welcoming, valuing, and respecting resident input to make our City          government more “user-friendly"
- Enhancing our "Family Friendly" image while embracing our core values and small-town charm, combined with our big city amenities
-Fulfilling the long-awaited promise of a lively mixed-use Downtown City Center
- Transforming our beloved 69-year-old Margate into a fantastic destination for all ages, where everyone wants to stop, shop, dine, play, and call home
- Protecting our precious “green space” 
- Strengthening our City’s economic future through responsible development and “smart growth”
- Encouraging commercial development and redevelopment with tax incentives and business grants
- Upgrading our outdated water/wastewater plant
- Continuing phased-in infrastructure replacement and revitalizing our aging neighborhoods 
- Ensuring budget transparency and accountability for all
- Valuing all our employees and enhancing our outstanding police and fire rescue services
- Revamping our outdated City Codes for a brighter future

I am dedicated to bringing back the spirit of friendly, respectful debate to the City Commission, welcoming resident input, and fostering understanding, communication, collaboration, and compromise. My experience in Margate's government allows me to connect our rich legislative history with the present, paving the way for an exciting future for all the residents of Margate!
