Q&A
The Key West Citizen is working on a story about the race for County Commission District 3, and has sent a questionnaire to the candidates. Because it is unlikely that the paper will print responses in their entirety, I’m sharing mine with you below. Enjoy the “scoop!”
WHAT QUALITIES OR SKILLS DO YOU HAVE THAT MAKE YOU FEEL YOU COULD BE A SOUND COUNTY COMMISSIONER?
I am a good listener, a creative problem solver and a solid negotiator. I understand budgets, I have experience working with architects and contractors, I know the challenges of making a payroll, providing benefits and motivating and supporting employees. I have proven leadership experience not only as a business owner, but through my involvement with many boards and organizations. And I have worked with a broad range of people through many different experiences throughout my life, from corporate types, to kids in after-school music programs, to parolees when I taught literacy through my church in Manhattan, to the diverse folks of the Keys and conservative leaders in Tallahassee.
