Geoff's polictical philosophy can best be described by this paritial quote from President Kennedy “Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer.”  Local issues are not Red or Blue, they are community issues that need to be addressed and resoved.  I work to find common ground in the community by listening first, gathering the facts, and making rational decisions that will help our city and its citizens prosper.
