Memorial Day

“ For the next few days I am taking some down time from the campaign to enjoy family and friends. Memorial Day is always a special day for me, as I recall so many of those I have served with that have given their all in defense of our great nation. I hope to attend the Cotton Row Run Monday in support of several friends that are participating in the race. It is always a uniquely fun event full of community spirit and patriotism. If you see me there, please say hello, I’d love to meet you.”

Latest Huntsville City Council - District 3 Campaign Up-date

Thought I would catch everyone up on the latest events from my campaign travels:


1) This past Saturday I was able to join the Huntsville Firefighters Local for their annual picnic. It was a great event and I was able to meet a lot of district 3 residents that are either firefighters or family of firefighters. I appreciate the Union President-Mark Thrailkill for inviting me and making me feel so welcomed. I look forward to meeting more city employees at future events, they really are what makes Huntsville such a great place to live and work.

2) I have been busy the last couple of weeks meeting folks from across the district-from Green Mountain to Ditto Landing. In each instance I have found hospitality, kindness, and a vast storehouse of ideas for our city and district.

3) I cannot express adequately the appreciation I have for all of you who came to the John Olshefski campaign announcement at Bell Mountain Park. It was a great event, aided by wonderful weather. The campaign is officially off and running and I look forward to the months ahead-meeting my neighbors and fellow district citizens.

4) The recent fundraiser that was sponsored by my boss and friend, was truly a humbling experience. To see so many Huntsville and district citizens give of their hard earned money to help me is something I will never forget. In the coming months and years I hope to have earned through actions, the confidence that many of you have in me.

Politics After Hours

“ Yesterday I attended both the BRAC and After Hours event sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce at the Huntsville Space and Rocket Center. I was able to meet many managers from businesses that have recently relocated to this area, I appreciate the time each of them took to discuss their impressions of the business environment here in the Tennessee Valley. The evening After Hours event was a fun time (how can you go wrong with hot dogs?), thank-you Tina Leopold of the Chamber for all your hard work in making the event a success and my campaign volunteers for helping greet our guests. Being able to talk with city leaders, business owners, and residents of South Huntsville in such a grand setting was wonderful.”

Proven Leader- Real Results

Quality of Life- We all choose to live in District 3 because in our neighborhoods we see an environment that allows our families to grow in prosperity, safety and happiness. To me it is the foundation of the community we call home. I promise to work every day, with every asset at my disposal, exploring all ideas, to bring value to our community and build a solid environment that allows us to enjoy every aspect of our lives.

Investment & Revitalization-Continuing to improve and maintain the infrastructure we now enjoy in District 3, requires a planned approach to maximize the resources that are already on hand. We cannot allow years of investment to be eroded, putting our quality of life at risk. I promise to unveil a district investment & revitalization blueprint, for the coming years, within 90 after being elected. This plan will include input from across the community and will be used to achieve the support required of other city and county leaders to make our plans a reality.

Accountability- Ensuring that citizens have full visibility of fiscal resources, and where they are being used, is a solemn obligation that I make and will remain answerable to. Only through an open exchange of information can trust be established and an open dialog as to future investments be made.
