Occupation

My Top Issues
Wages / Job Benefits
Supplying influence to ensure that our teachers, students, administrators, and staff are supplied with best-in-class resources and equipment.
Taxes / Budget
Advocating for an increase in the budget that the City of Opelika allocates to Opelika City Schools.
Education
I will continue to be a vocal and visible advocate for Opelika City Schools. As a parent of children who attend Opelika City Schools, I understand our opportunities. I will use my platform as mayor to advocate that even more resources be provided to Opelika City Schools annually.
Economy
When we approach economic development through the lens of universal benefit, we not only diversify our industrial environment and tax revenue, but we also allow local companies to create onramps for supplemental services, employees, and products. A broad approach to economic development ensures that all of the talents of our citizens have an opportunity to move Opelika forward.
Government Reform
By making opportunities to serve on city boards and agencies more apparent, I will inspire new leaders to emerge from across all of Opelika. The more leaders we have in our city and the more informed our citizenry becomes, the greater the accountability will be as we work to advance Opelika.
Economy
My priorities include creating a fully sustainable economic development ecosystem in Opelika. This commitment means that I will work to recruit industries to Opelika while creating opportunities to ensure that these recruitment efforts benefit small and large businesses that have already invested in and are thriving in Opelika.
