Previous elected office: Rootstown Fiscal Officer, 2000-present
Question: What motivated you to run for this office?
Answer: I've always felt like I need to give something back. When I realized no one was running (in 1999), I figured I should step up to the plate. I've been in government all my life and have been involved in accounting for 33 years, so it made sense.
