Why a blog?

Since the Capital Group Sierra Club website doesn't list the answers for all the candidates that returned questionnaires, I'm listing my answers in this blog. It also allows readers to respond to my answers. This questionnaire was completed in early August. My position on some of these issues has developed and matured in the process of the campaign.

All of my positions continue to be based on citizen involvement, neighborhood preservation and environmental stewardship with the goal of preserving our quality of life and expanding the prosperity of some areas to all areas of our city.

About Me

I ran for City Council because Raleigh is my home and I believe I can help it to stay the healthy, uplifting place that it is. My goal on the City Council will be: first, to help the citizens of Raleigh understand what the city is doing now and why. Second, make it easier for citizens to communicate with the city and to have that communication respected and remembered. I will strive to let Raleigh’s residents to help the city in day-to-day activities -- like running a dog park. I think this will lead to more effective and less expensive solutions to Raleigh’s problems and opportunities. BIO: I'm a native of rural eastern North Carolina, moved to Raleigh in 1975 to attend NCSU, graduated, and never left the city. I worked throughout my education. My husband and I bought our house on Monroe Drive in 1989. I started working for the News and Observer's production department in 1980 and worked there until November 2006. I have participated in numerous public service initiatives, and wish to take my expertise to the next level.
