Platform

Goals for City Government

I believe that city government is created and maintained to provide its citizens with services and protect the health and welfare of its citizens.  My platform is consistent with these principles. 

I believe that city government should be accountable to its citizens and that the services that are provided to the citizens are done so efficiently and effectively.  The city government is owned by the people and should be accountable to the people.  I support complete accountablility of all city services.

I believe that Gulf Shores is in need of improved emergency healthcare.  The health of our citizens is dependent on improving this delivery and I believe that we need to work to establish a Life Savings Center with full ambulance service in Gulf Shores.  This will help save lives.

I believe that protecting the health and welfare of our citizens also includes protecting the unique quality of life that we have in Gulf Shores.  I choose to live here because of this uniqueness and I believe that we should protect this character for generations to come.  Growth will occur, it just needs to take place with a strategic vision and supported by appropriate planning.  

I am the best candidate to ensure that our local government provides services and is accountable to the citizens of Gulf Shores due to my financial planning background, my Masters of Business Administration credentials, my business ownership, and my experience being a steward of other people’s money.  I will work to ensure that the government works for its citizens.

I am the best candidate to ensure the health and welfare of Gulf Shores citizens due to my experience as a doctor.  I know how important healthcare is.  My experience as a medical practice owner, my medical degree, and my position on the Gulf Coast Healthcare Authority give me the best chance of bringing a Life Savings Center to our community.

I am the best candidate to protect the unique quality of life that we have in Gulf Shores due to my support of smart growth in our community.  I recognize that growth will occur; I just believe that this growth needs to be smart.  This can be achieved by vision, global long range planning, appropriate zoning, and the enforcement of this zoning.  I support the envision GS plan, I am a current member of the Gulf Shores Zoning Board of Adjustments, and I bring a fresh viewpoint to protecting the quality of life in Gulf Shores.

I will work on behalf of the citizens of Gulf Shores and will strive to reach out to extend our cities relationships with other cities, the county, the state, and the federal government.  As we face difficult issues in the future I believe encouraging this team approach will serve this city well and help solve the unforeseen problems that Gulf Shores will face.  I would be honored to help stimulate this team approach and to be a part of this team.  I would appreciate your vote on August 26 for Gulf Shores City Council Place 4.
