When I missed qualifying week while out of town, Carol Bass was asked to run for this seat as a conservative candidate. I would have had to get 125+/- signatures to qualify. I spoke with Carol in a 3 hour meeting about the D1 seat and the issues that I felt were important and we agreed 100% on all of the issues that I felt needed to be addressed by the new BOC.
We also discussed the ramifications of her and I running as a conservative candidate and the dilution of the votes by splitting them between us. We felt that it was more important that we ensure that there was a new commissioner rather than have me run basically against Carol.
At that time I was asked to run for the district 6 BOE seat and I politely declined. After several weeks of discussing the D6 BOE seat with people around the county, I decided to run for that seat.
I feel it's time we had a more conservative BOC and BOE so I decided to run and have qualified for the D6 BOE seat.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Children stay in school, do not drop out.
