What are the top issues facing this board/council and how would you resolve them?

Our childrens' education is under attack due to lack of funding. Brodhead continues to provide first-class educational opportunities and my focus has been, and will be to continue this tradition. We've done this with the lowest school tax rate in the area, that's a testament to our teachers, administrators and support staff.

Cutting programs doesn't help our children or our community, but providing our students with a quality education from quality teachers does.

Moving forward in a positive manner with a positive community to find solutions to our budget issues is my goal.
