After considerable thought and evaluation, I’ve decided not to be a candidate for elected office at this time.  My love for our city, our county and our state is sincere and unwavering.  As I enter the next phase of my professional life, I have every intention of remaining a loyal, non-elected, supporter of this community.  I enjoy and am invigorated by the election process.  However, elections are very time consuming, and in the next three months, I’m focusing my attention on accomplishing the following priorities:

Completing the $7 million fund raising campaign to Bring Back the Beach at Bay Beach;

Assuring the grand opening of the Hotel Northland, a Marriott Autograph Collection property;

Breaking ground on the townhouses at the Railyard;

Breaking ground on the first phase of development at the Shipyard; and 

Securing a new job that uses my experience and talents, and that also benefits the people of Green Bay.
