Education I believe what Henry County's strategic plan says: all children can learn at or above grade level. That is not a slogan, it is a standard. I will hold the district accountable to advancing literacy, readiness to learn, and college and career readiness for every student group, with a particular focus on students who have historically been underserved. Taxes / Budget A 596 million budget is a public trust. I will bring the same financial discipline I have applied managing 100M in education funding to ensure every dollar Henry County spends is tied to student outcomes. Responsible stewardship means making sure every dollar is tied to student outcomes. Education Great outcomes require great teachers and strong support systems. I will advocate for competitive teacher compensation, effective leadership development, and expanded student wellness and mental health resources. When students feel safe, supported, and seen, they learn better. That is not optional, it is essential. Education STEM is personal to me. My scientific training shapes how I approach every problem. I will champion our new STEM High School opening in 2027 and work to expand access to STEM, coding, robotics, financial literacy, and career-oriented learning for every student in this district so they graduate ready for what comes next.
