I’ve served in just about every law enforcement role imaginable—from patrolling neighborhoods in Delaware County to investigating large-scale crimes as a Special Agent. I also served as part of the Homeland Security National Task Force and completed training in active shooter response, FEMA crisis planning, and human trafficking prevention. I’ve seen firsthand how policy impacts people. I know what needs to change, and more importantly, I know how to change it.
We can’t expect trust if people don’t feel heard. I will launch a Sheriff’s Office Community Advisory Council made up of local residents, clergy, business owners, and advocates who will provide input on decisions and help review practices. We’ll also hold quarterly “State of Public Safety” sessions to keep people informed, engaged, and empowered. The Sheriff’s Office should belong to the people—and under my leadership, it will.
1. Public Safety and Gun Violence Prevention: I will work closely with law enforcement, schools, and community groups to reduce gun violence and keep families safe.
2. Training and Accountability: I’ll invest in advanced, trauma-informed training for officers, with a strong emphasis on de-escalation, mental health, and racial bias.
3. Community Engagement: From youth mentorship programs to re-entry services, I want the Sheriff’s Office to be a visible, accessible part of our neighborhoods—not just during emergencies, but every day.
