Fun Fact
I biked across America in 43 days with Team Roll Over Cancer. We raised funds for cancer research.
Past Experience
Since 1994, I’ve lived and raised my family right here in the City of Roanoke. I, like my neighbors, have seen the result of partisanship and party prioritized over finding impactful solutions. We have lived the consequences of poor leadership and elected officials more concerned about their political futures than the futures of our children.
Enough is enough. I’m running for the House of Delegates to take Roanoke’s interests to Richmond and fight for them. I’m fighting to revive Roanoke through jobs, affordability, and security. I look forward to the opportunity to fight tirelessly for a vision that I believe most Roanoke residents share. Our community deserves better and better starts now.
My Top Issues
Properly fund emergency services
Our utmost priority must be keeping Roanoke residents safe and reducing crime. In order to do this, we must fully support and fund our law enforcement and first responders. Current reports show that Roanoke is down 40-50 law enforcement officers. We are incredibly understaffed.
Affordability
Affordable housing
Reducing tax burden
Public transportation
Jobs Creation
Roanoke needs to once again become a destination for new, good paying jobs. Jobs that provide fair wages and benefits, and job security.
Economy
I’m fighting to revive Roanoke through jobs, affordability, and security.
