My Top Issues
Criminal Justice / Public Safety
I support our law enforcement, fire, and rescue services and believe they are critical elements of maintaining a safe and healthy Town. Meeting the needs of public safety serves us all.

Economy
I support efforts to create a small business incubator in downtown Christiansburg, strengthen our Farmers Market traffic, and create information that connects our visitors to the many special shops and restaurants we have to offer.
Economy
I support small businesses in their endeavors to make Christiansburg their home, including grants and workshops that support and equip business owners.
Infrastructure / Transportation
I support special events and the creative use of Town amenities that make Christiansburg a desirable place to live, work, and visit.
