Candidate's Statement (reproduced exactly as submitted)

I came to Alaska in 1976 and moved to Homer in 1989 after teaching in bush villages for thirteen years. My wife and I raised our two sons here. I taught school in Homer until 1998 when I retired. Between 2004 and 2015 I worked at KBC with the Youth Job Training Program.

I was first elected to the Homer City Council in 2008; during my tenure as a city councilman, I had excellent attendance and supported projects that would enhance the quality of life in Homer. I have served on the Harbor Improvement Task Force, Large Vessel Haul Out and on the Cannabis Advisory Commission. During my nine years on the council we were confronted with a shrinking budget while introducing the gas line, working on the development of a new public safety building and finding funding for programs outside of basic city responsibilities.

In order to secure Homer's bright future, I support funding for the building of the East Boat Harbor, improvements at the vessel haul out, making Homer a four season recreational destination and a Universally Accessible city . This will allow us to utilize our existing resources for economic growth while still maintaining our small town atmosphere.
