Issues

Supporting law enforcement agencies and providing necessary resources for public safety

The safety of our citizens is paramount. I will work closely with our law enforcement and emergency services to ensure that Cave Spring remains a safe and welcoming place for all. This includes supporting our first responders and implementing community-based initiatives to build trust and strengthen public safety.

Attracting and retaining businesses

To invigorate our local economy, we need a comprehensive plan for business development. I will champion the use of business incentives to attract new companies and support existing ones. By creating a business-friendly environment, we can encourage growth, create jobs, and increase revenue for our city.

Promoting transparency in government decision-making

In this modern age, transparency and staying informed are more critical than ever. I am committed to utilizing technology to keep residents up to date on local issues. I will maintain a website and send notices to those who wish to be part of our informed community. No longer will our leaders operate behind closed doors or wait until the last minute to inform citizens. We have the tools to keep everyone informed in real-time.
