Why did you run for office?

I have deep roots in the community, and have long been dedicated to serving it. Among my many commitments, I have been very active with several political organizations in Clayton and all over the county and State as well.

I have always been a mover and a shaker; from a young age, I was always at the forefront of any decisions that needed to be made. As my career progressed, I became a leading voice in the community and beyond, always working for the wellbeing of the public.
