Philosophy
Like Hubert Humphrey, I too believe that "the moral test of government is measured by the way it treats those at the
Dawn of Life, the children, the Shadows of Life, the poor and needy, and the Twilight of Life, the Aging."
As a Commissioner, my major focus has always been on using the County's scarce resources to protect the common good of
all our citizens in Forsyth County.
