My Top Issues
Economy
As a small business owner, I understand the challenges local entrepreneurs face. I’ll support policies that encourage growth, reduce red tape, and make it easier to start and grow a business here. I’ll also advocate for programs and partnerships that give our young people the tools they need to succeed—right here in Hartselle.
Criminal Justice / Public Safety
Public safety starts with proactive planning and strong community relationships. I’ll support smart investments in safety, technology, and emergency services—while working with residents to build a community where every family feels secure and supported.
Infrastructure / Transportation
Our roads, sidewalks, and public spaces need real attention—not just short-term fixes. I’ll push for smart, long-term planning that prioritizes safety, efficiency, and responsible budgeting to improve how we move and live in Hartselle.
