My Top Issues
Criminal Justice / Public Safety
I will advocate for data-driven staffing models for police and fire departments and regular joint training exercises with neighboring jurisdictions.
Criminal Justice / Public Safety
I will support targeted traffic-calming measures—such as crosswalk installations, speed control near schools, and optimized signal timing—to enhance pedestrian safety.
Economy
We should attract businesses that offer quality jobs in sectors such as healthcare, light manufacturing, and technology, while also supporting small local entrepreneurs.
Infrastructure / Transportation
I will support design standards that ensure new buildings fit our architectural style and encourage the reuse of older structures.
Environment / Energy
Expanding green spaces, like the Big Canoe Creek Nature Preserve, will provide recreational opportunities and strengthen our connection to the natural environment.
Infrastructure / Transportation
I propose updating our zoning codes to require developers to contribute to roads, utilities, and schools. Past actions—like capping build rates on large subdivisions—show how proactive limits can prevent infrastructure overload.
Infrastructure / Transportation
I will work with state and county partners to secure grants for road improvements, water system upgrades, and pedestrian-friendly pathways before congestion and failures occur.
Economy
I will ensure prospective tenants undergo rigorous economic impact evaluations to prioritize fair wages and environmental responsibility. Collaborating with the Chamber of Commerce, I will promote microgrants, workshops, and streamlined permitting to help small businesses thrive.
