I believe I can achieve this through previous experience serving on the board of the Ohio Pork Producers Council, Clark County Farm Bureau and the Clark County Fair Board, serving as Secretary and Vice President. | ||

I would like to see Pike Township become more Eco-Friendly. we need to preserve more farmland to maintain our rural charm and scenery. We need to hold finanicial institutions responsible for maintaining foreclosed properties so other Township residents/property owners are not affected or inconvenienced. I plan to work, hand in hand, with residents of Pike Township to ensure our community thrives for all to enjoy. | ||
