#SmartGov4Herndon requires community engagement.  But to be fully engaged also requires that our community be well informed which in turn makes transparency and access to data critical.  This transparency must necessarily start with me and the other candidates for Town Council.

My promise to all of you is that I will answer any reasonable question you put to me as truthfully as I can.  Sometimes the answer may be “I don’t know — I need to learn more” but I will always be honest about it.  You may or may not like my answer, but you — as my constituents — have a right to that information.  Once we know where we stand then we can have meaningful conversations and try to seek common ground.  Will we always find it — of course not.  But unless we are honest and transparent with each other, we will miss out on opportunities to make Herndon a great place for all of us.
