THANK YOU!

Thank you to all the voters who took the time to come out and support my campaign. It was a close race. We won 9 of the 11 precincts in the city. That is a tremendous showing of support for my first time running for mayor. We only needed 20 more votes per precinct to have won! It was a great experience, and it was wonderful to meet all the great residents of Crest Hill. I heard of your frustrations dealing with personal and commercial issues with the city. It would have been nice to get in and correct those issues for you and future citizens. I hope this election engages everyone in the election process going forward. Local elections are much more critical than Federal elections as they directly impact your daily living. Be engaged, get out to vote, get your family members to vote, and get your neighbors to vote. Each vote is crucial, and lives have been lost to guarantee that right! Keep your leaders accountable!

As you can see from the precinct map, the dark green shaded areas are the areas that we won. The light green areas are the ones that my opponent won.

There needs to be legislative action passed that allows political candidates into gated communities. How fair is it that a resident of that community is allowed to spread his message by everyday activities while keeping opponents out from spreading their message face to face? This not only applies to Carrillon Lakes but to all those closed off communities.
