2007: Passing the Torch to Our Citizens...





This year, we are at a crossroads in the evolution of our city, where we have a clear choice between more of the same or an opportunity to affect change that makes government responsive to residents.

Lakewood citizens are unhappy with the current administration's push toward making our community bigger, more massive, more congested, and more dangerous. 
Many of us have who have lived here for years have seen how the charm and uniqueness of Lakewood is being taken away.   We've seen how difficult it is to fight our own representatives on issues we care about.  We've seen how wishful big-box developments are failing despite tax breaks that have sacrificed our services.  We've seen how "experienced" bureaucrats have actually catered to forces working against our community.

I am not a career politician. I speak only from my heart and my experience as a leader saving Forsberg Park from development.

I value this community, have successfully fought hard to protect our land assets, and feel it's time Lakewood citizens have a say in how things are changing around them.  It's important we elect people to office who share our values.


FAQ: When do I vote?
About the October Ballot 2007


With no incumbent in office, we have the opportunity in 2007
to pass the torch back to the families and neighbors of Lakewood.

If you agree with Mike Rock's administration, the current Council, continuing tax hikes, and the dramatic depletion of our community resources in recent years, your choice is clear. 

If you want to see a change restoring honesty, ethics, respect for citizens and tempered growth in Lakewood, join me in returning Lakewood government to the People, as it should be. 

Make this a City that takes care of families, homes, and businesses, not special interests.
