“Infrastructure is important to our community,” Lewis said. “It really hits home when we have frequent power outages or when we have to replace tires because we are under-investing in our roads.”

“Having seen government close up at a federal, state and local level has given me a perspective of the abilities and limits of government in keeping our community strong,” Lewis said. “My business experience has given me the skill to analyze where an investment is prudent or wasteful — something vital in protecting taxpayers.”
