Communication has been a strong focus for me during my time on council to inform Erlanger citizens on what is taking place in government and our community. I intend to introduce strong leadership to the Mayor’s office through effective communication of my course of action for the future of Erlanger. In alignment with my vision, I have three key items I will be focusing on as Mayor.
