Co- organized a breakfast focused on entrepreneurship for the Hillsborough Chamber and Orange County Schools, March 2011. 1 am passionate about pushing forward Orange County's economic development efforts. I see this as a social justice issue in that we're creating jobs for those who live here or want to live here. I also see economic development as critical to nurture if we want to continue offering the quality of life we already have while also expanding efforts in other areas -- social services, recreational opportunities for residents. We must have a county -wide perspective while respecting the unique characteristics of each area or municipality within. It would be an honor to serve.
