On his campaign Facebook page, he posted, “I think about this bridge all the time right now. As your current Commissioner, I have pledged to be the voice of the district. To be that voice, I must listen to opinions from both sides of the fence. I have attended meetings, taken phone calls daily, and responded to countless emails from both sides all in an effort to gain facts. I plan to do this until the County makes its decision.”
