I am proud to be a candidate for Carroll County commissioner from District 3 and I am writing to share information on my background and qualifications.<\/p>\n
Currently, I serve on Wolfeboro\u2019s budget committee and agricultural commission.<\/p>\n
I also serve as Carroll County\u2019s appointed representative on the Carroll County broadband committee.<\/p>\n
I graduated from Cornell University and the University of Chicago Law School and have been a lawyer for 34 years, primarily practicing environmental and telecommunications law.<\/p>\n
I have represented business enterprises both large and small as well as numerous government entities including states and major cities.<\/p>\n
I am proud that my clients include police and fire departments throughout our nation. We owe special gratitude to our first responders and I am honored to work on their behalf.<\/p>\n
As a county commissioner I will keep taxes low while maintaining a high level of service and repairing the current fiscal disarray.<\/p>\n
Large budget increases cannot be sustained and with careful oversight and public transparency they should not be necessary.<\/p>\n
One of the most pressing concerns we face in Carroll County is inadequate broadband service, both fixed and mobile.<\/p>\n
Advanced telecommunications services are essential to life in rural areas, to enable distance learning, telemedicine, work at home, obtaining government services and interacting with friends.<\/p>\n
Carroll County is on the wrong side of the digital divide, and as commissioner I will work with our delegation and the Carroll County Broadband Committee to fix that.<\/p>\n
Please call me at (603) 630-9422 if you would like to talk.<\/p>\n
I would be honored to have your support and vote.<\/p>\n
