My Top Issues
Utilizing technology for improved government services
Utilize grant writing and modern tech to make for a more sustainable future that doesn’t just tax the poor out of existence.
Reduce cost of living
By providing better transparency and infrastructure with technology and grant writing we might be able to alleviate the cost of living on property taxes and their increases
Collaborating with emergency management agencies
By better collaboration and effort with other counterparts both private and public, resources can be shared and information better communicated to ensure a better more cost effective approach especially by making budgets transparent
