Comments or Quote for your personal goals for being on the Town Council and the Future of Yacolt:  My goal for being on the Town Council is to help the community and the Town become educated and financially stable as I can.  This is why for my career path I have chosen to become a financial planner/educator.  I believe debt is a huge problem in our society.  I have made it my personal mission to show as many as will listen how to eliminate their debt and get on track for retirement as quick as possible.  I plan to use these same passions to help the town of Yacolt run as clean and efficient as possible, avoiding debt and over spending where we can.  I believe that by doing this we will help the Town of Yacolt be a place for the community and our kids to grow together as one.
