My Top Issues
Community involvement in decision-making
I believe the community has the right to choose how its tax dollars are being spent. Time and time again the taxpayer's funds have gone to pet projects of the current and former Commissions. If elected I will keep the public informed and be their voice.
Supporting pet adoption and spay/neuter programs
I fully support the trapping and fixing of the feral cat population. I volunteer for a non-profit organization that does just that.
The homeless community
I fully support BHI and the city finding a solution to the growing homeless situation in our city.
Who I'm Running Against
Andrew Tipton (Republican Party)
A twenty five year old kid, who grew up with wealth, doctor as a step mom. He is the same good old boy just in a younger face
