Running For

County Commissioner

Affiliation

Independent

"Achieving fairness, innovation, and integrity for a stronger Wythe County."

Issues

Enhancing digital infrastructure and connectivity

We are behind the status quo in terms of information access and user friendliness in todays technology age. It is my mission to help to make the information that the public wants accessible at the tips of their fingers.

Enforcing strong conflict of interest rules

It is important to me that everyone is assessed and treated fairly, regardless of whether they are an individual or a corporation, a republican, democrat, or an independent, and regardless of their beliefs. Fair and equitable treatment is the key to just taxation.

Advocating for fair compensation and due process in property-related matters

As a homeowner and landowner, your property right are some of the most important rights you have. It is important that zoning is upheld, that assessments are accurate, and the land use reflects what best serves the individual as well as the community.
