ABOUT ME
Why I Ran for Mayor
I ran for Mayor of Jefferson because I believe our city deserves a true voice — a voice of the people. Leadership should never be about a small group making decisions without listening. It should be about unity, transparency, and working together for the good of everyone who calls Jefferson home.
I am not against growth. Growth can bring opportunity and progress. However, growth without thoughtful planning can also bring life-altering changes to a community that may not be ready for it. It can impact our seniors, strain our infrastructure, and increase already high property taxes. We must be wise, balanced, and intentional about how we move forward.
My goal is to work alongside our citizens and our council to find common ground, to unite rather than divide, and to make decisions that stabilize and strengthen our city’s future. My responsibility as Mayor of Jefferson goes far beyond political obligation — it is a calling to serve.
"I am committed to bringing hope, collaboration, and responsible leadership to Jefferson, always putting our community first."
