Glynn County Board of Commissioners, At-Large Post 1

A retired college professor, I spent ten years on town council and eight years on planning boards, elsewhere. I have owned a home on Saint Simons Island since 1993 and have attended almost all County Commission and Island Planning Commission meetings for the last, three years.

As a Commissioner, I would work hard to stop colleagues from ignoring the public and from wasting time and tax dollars. I am married and have three kids and five grandchildren.

I have been lucky to call Coastal Georgia home for the past 19 years, working as a school counselor at Needwood and Glynn Middle Schools and currently serving as the registrar at Glynn Academy.

I want to give voters a choice, another voice other than that of local candidates who continually run unopposed. I want all voices to be heard and the issues of all people to matter.

Georgia State Senate, District 3
We should expect our representatives to work in the public interest, but today, more than ever, we have politicians pushing political agendas, instead of policies to help people.

We need new representation in office, and if we can’t find candidates to support, we have to be the change we want, and we have to run for office.

I support the state party’s agenda to promote education, the environment, the economy, equality, and voting rights. With your help, I will be your next state senator for District 3.

Occupation: Community Volunteer
