Criminal Justice / Public Safety My experience walking with more than 4,000 men and women out of addiction and incarceration has taught me this: enforcement and compassion both matter. My vision is of a safer city that also prioritizes prevention, recovery, and paths back into the community. Infrastructure / Transportation I support Garden City’s balanced-growth approach. We should welcome new neighbors and new employers, without losing our character. My vision is simple: plan thoughtfully, build responsibly, and keep our small-city feel while expanding opportunity for families and businesses. Economy I will partner with top commercial real estate leaders to provide businesses with a clear path from site selection to permits to opening day, featuring predictable timelines and responsive service. Garden City should be the Treasure Valley’s easiest place to do business. Criminal Justice / Public Safety I will back the Garden City Police Department, deter crime, and target the trafficking of illegal drugs. Housing Housing affordability is crucial for me. We must have a variety of housing options, catering to everyone, from entry-level homes to retiree-friendly accommodations. Taxes / Budget Rising valuations and local costs are pushing annual tax bills faster than paychecks, especially for seniors. We must balance the budget, insist on transparency, and ensure every cent is spent wisely.
