The City of Herrin needs new Leadership!  My election as Mayor will bring a new perspective to Herrin.  As Mayor I will:

• Work to promote the physical, emotional, and family oriented well-being of Herrin Citizens.
• Work to ensure Herrin’s safety and security as we continue to fortify our city now and for future generations.
• Work to have open communication with Herrin citizens. I want your input. I want citizens to feel their voices are being heard. I believe the actions taken by myself and the council, should be subject to review and inquiry, and citizens should have a fair and equal opportunity to express their views on city business. I understand my task is to promote and protect your interests, and I will at all times perform my duties as your representative with honesty and integrity.
• As a steward of your tax dollars, I will work to ensure that city services are delivered with the highest possible quality at the lowest possible cost.
• Work to fortify the Community with Volunteerism in our neighborhoods, schools, and government which will lead to a greater voice of our citizens in making the best decisions for Herrin.
• Work with the School Board as we address our education, growth, and building needs with tax-payer dollars.
• Work with the city council to review and update city ordinances and ensure our Home Rule status is being utilized to its fullest capacity.

• Work to expand and diversify our economic base, and improve our quality of life.
• Further educate the community on the benefits of the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district opportunities.

As Mayor I will set the example and lead by consulting with community experts, council members and department heads. I will carefully review our priorities and assets, and set our expenditures to align with our revenues.
