Editor's note: YourHub.com is asking candidates running for office in the November election to complete a questionnaire. Look for the Q&As to run in the print editions up to the Nov. 6 election.

My name: Laurett Barrentine

Office I'm running for: Englewood City Council District 3

What I do: Accountant

What I like most about living here: Englewood has a unique neighborhood feel. My neighbors are wonderful people who look out for each other and don't hesitate to help out. I could not have picked a better place to raise my son.

My interests and hobbies: Volunteering for Hands All Around has been a fantastic experience. I get to learn about quilting with a great group of women who have a lot of fun for a worthwhile cause. A lot of my time is spent with two volunteer citizen groups that work to keep local government accountable, open and accessible.

What is my favorite thing to cook: My son loves watching the food network. He does all the culinary experiments and so far they have all been winners.

People who inspired me (and how): My family and my neighbors continue to inspire me with the depth of their character, integrity and heart. They are the reason I work so hard on City Council.

How I have contributed to the community: Like most people in Englewood, I contribute by being a good mom, raising a great young man, helping my family and neighbors, taking care of my property, sharing stuff from my garden and volunteering at my son's school and in the community. I have also contributed as a member of several State and City Boards and for the last four years have served on the Englewood City Council.

What are the biggest issues facing Englewood now:

Spending more than we collect
Evaluating our priorities
Creating a responsible budget process
Eminent Domain limits to prevent government taking private property for development
Need for a positive business environment to encourage investment
