Instead of taking on another position,I would suggest that the SERIOUS ISSUES with constituents in the HIGHWAY 297 AND 97 AREAS be addressed first with the infrastructure issues associated with the UNCONTROLLED overdevelop of the area.
Congrats Brother Steven,iI know you will serve wisely and keep our community in heart
