Education Making sure our education system is the absolute best it can be. I will continue to work with our school board, school administration and parents to achieve this success and open a new high school. Taxes / Budget It will be important to work with the council and city manager to maintain a fiscally responsible budget while providing excellent services and preserving our AAA bond rating. Economy Economic development remains a high priority. I will continue to work with our Commercial Development Authority to ensure they have the resources needed to bring more business to Pelham and help keep our small business community healthy. Arts / Culture I will continue to support events that bring the community together like Taste of Pelham, PelhamPalooza, Christmas Parade and Tree lighting, and a host of other events. I have had the opportunity to champion our city national and it's an honor I don't take lightly. Criminal Justice / Public Safety I will continue to advocate for our First Responders and city employees to ensure we hire the best to keep Pelham safe! I'm proud of our talented staff and their commitment to customer service!
