Candidate Statement:

I currently serve on the Police and Fire Department Committee and I am able to bring a personal perspective. My husband, John, was a firefighter. Often knowing they were on a run because each "engine" had its own siren identification, but I never knew how severe the response to an emergency might be. It is my close-to-home compassion to oversee, amend and pursue laws that strengthen our safety in Mount Vernon. (Please see the full statement online at mountvernonnews.com.)
