Dear Citizens:
Thank you for visiting my re-election website.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me at any of
the various opportunities that you will find listed on our Home Page.
I look forward to hearing from you.
As you take this time to get to know me, I will be
sharing some of the results of my work with you. This is one of my
favorite quotes, and it serves as a guidepost for me as I work:
“To attain
excellence, you must care more than others think is wise,
risk more than others think is safe
and dream more than others think is practical.”

Public Servant
In my work I am constantly aware that I am a public
servant. I am honored by this opportunity, and I always strive to
give my best to this community. Your vote and your support will be
greatly appreciated because I certainly would like to continue working
for our wonderful community as your mayor.
Creating a list of “my accomplishments” for you to
review has not been an easy task for me. As the Mayor, I am one
part of a tremendous team effort that brings forth a wide myriad of
services for citizens and visitors to Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Team Effort
There is no “ I ” in TEAM…with that in mind I will
share with you some aspects where I believe I have had an influence for
positive things in our community. Some of these positives occur
from direct actions and others happen as a more indirect effect; some
are the products of my work on consensus building and some are direct
ideas that I have been able to impart into our systems.
Community Vitality
As you look around our community you can see and
feel its vitality. A fiscally sound local government is an enabler
as well as a concrete foundation for much success within a community.
Excellence in our police and fire departments allow us to have a
successful business community. Successful businesses make for
successful civic organizations and volunteerism. Our excellent
park system fosters happy and healthy kids…and parents!
Can I take credit for all the good things going on
in our community? Specifically and individually…….no, certainly
not! Collectively with our city staff and many active citizens in
our area, Yes, I certainly can!
I am proud to stand with our community and say……..
"We do a good job and we have Success
to show for it!"

My Three
Cornerstones for Better Local Government
From my Inauguration Speech of January 2001, I
extracted 3 key topics that I feel are the cornerstones of any local
government’s commitment to its citizens. I will categorize my work
into these three areas for you. They are:
