Dear Friend,

I am running for mayor of Columbia, and I want you to be among the first to know.

In the city elections just eight months away, we will face a clear choice -- change or more of the same in Columbia. As a business leader, a resident of Columbia for over twenty years, and a member of dozens of community boards, I have dedicated my life to bringing about real and dramatic change in my community. That's what I intend to do as the next mayor of our state's capital city. I'll focus on bringing people together, and, when necessary, blowing past the bureaucracy and holding people accountable.
