Holly's Election Goals

I’d like to serve as your Council Member primarily

because I enjoy community service and I have learned that communities

grow and thrive when they have positive leadership.

I have strong skills in communication, technology and

building consensus among competing ideas.

I am able to balance these skills with a win-win attitude.

Our city’s leadership team needs to look ahead at emerging issues and

anticipate how they will impact our community –

I believe I can assist in this effort.

In addition, I support:

The completion of sidewalks for Point Brown;

Advancing the use of technology throughout

the city’s administration;

A thoughtful balance between our environment and the needs and services that our residents and

businesses require.

The sidewalk project on Point Brown is a top priority for our residents and our business community. Sidewalks support public safety, access for all and increase mobility for all ages.

I support the design work

that has been started with a grant and will support

the city’s staff as they seek the additional grant monies

to get this project completed.

I support a budget line item that will provide

the needed matching funds so that when the grant

monies are received, we are prepared to complete this project.

I have spent considerable time strengthening my own

technology skills and learning more about the

impact technology is having on every facet of our lives –

Ocean Shores needs to learn and apply these new

technologies to save tax payer dollars and

to provide and strengthen services for our residents,

our businesses and our visitors.

Leaders need to use and understand these technologies

in the administration of the city, as well as providing opportunities

for our city staff to grow in this area.

Creating a thoughtful balance between our environment and the services that our residents and businesses require is an on-going challenge. Local issues include erosion, dredging at the marina and keeping our infrastructure intact

(including our water resources as well as our roads).

These issues require a thoughtful planning process.

Along with planning, comes sharing that

process with all the stakeholders- our residents and our businesses

and acquiring feedback from every corner of the community

that will feel the impact of the final decisions that are reached.

I believe my communication, listening and creative problem solving skills

are essential as we continue creating this thoughtful,

balanced, win-win decision making process.
