My Top Issues

Economy

I support small businesses in their endeavors to make Christiansburg their home, including grants and workshops that support and equip business owners.

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.

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. I remain committed to expanding our emergency services in areas of rapid growth and high density in the Town and preparing Council and staff to lead well in times of crisis.

Infrastructure / Transportation

I support special events and the creative use of Town amenities that make Christiansburg a desirable place to live, work, and visit.
