I want safer roads, stronger schools, more transparency in government, and a community where working families can thrive.

Taxes
- Attracting new businesses
- Improving efficiency in county departments
- Pursuing grants for infrastructure, public safety, and community programs
- Tax Increment Financing

Infrastructure
- Fixing dangerous intersections and repairing aging roads
- Coordinating with state and regional partners to secure transportation funding
- Expanding public transit options - KAT
- Ensuring new developments pay their fair share for the infrastructure

Development
- I support responsible, well‑planned development that:
* Protects existing neighborhoods
* Ensures new housing is affordable for working families
* Requires developers to contribute to infrastructure, schools, and public safety
* Preserves green space and prevents overcrowding.

Transparency
- Hold regular town halls and listening sessions
- Share information early — not after decisions are already made
- Create clear, accessible channels for residents to give feedback. Like interactive social media polls and suggestion forums
- Work with neighborhood groups, schools, and local organizations to understand concerns.
