A true revitalization of a city cannot occur without an energized local economy. We need to keep people living, working, and shopping right here in Troy.

As your elected representative, I will work hard to bring business back to Troy and create more living wage jobs. I will make sure that economic development is a priority, and I won't back down until we make real progress.

Part of my economic development plan includes a "Green Jobs and Clean Energy" initiative. By making our buildings more energy-efficient through LEED standardization, we can be more environmentally responsible, save taxpayers money, and bring more jobs to our city.
