From a young age, I’ve believed that serving your community is one of the most meaningful things you can do—and I’ve chosen to serve through conservative public policy. I’ve worked in both local and county government, gaining firsthand knowledge of how government operates, and more importantly, how it should operate: responsibly, efficiently, and with respect for taxpayers. I served as a legislative aide in the Monroe County Legislature, where I helped research, draft, and pass impactful legislation, including expanding property tax exemptions for Cold War veterans. That real-world experience—delivering results, not rhetoric—makes me ready to serve on day one. I know how to get things done and how to stand up for our conservative values in the process.

Public Safety: Albany’s pro-criminal agenda—cashless bail, discovery “reform,” and anti-police policies—has emboldened criminals and demoralized law enforcement. I’ll fight for our Sheriff’s Office, reject dangerous policies, and ensure law and order come first.

Affordability: Families are being squeezed by high taxes and regulations. I’ll push to lower property taxes, cut waste, oppose unfunded mandates, and support small businesses through a Chili-first economic plan that puts working families first.

I believe in government that listens. Too often, elected officials forget who they work for. I won't be one of them. I plan to host regular rotating office hours throughout the district to meet people where they are—at times and locations that work for working families. I’ll send out surveys on key issues and keep an open line of communication, whether it’s through email, social media, or face-to-face conversations. I’m not running to tell people what to think—I’m running to be a voice for my neighbors. I’ll vote the way I campaigned: in line with the values of this community. Because public service starts with listening, and real leadership starts with trust.

Let’s be honest: Monroe County isn’t going to stop global climate change. And while we all want a cleaner environment, we need to stay focused on what actually works and what we can afford. Unfortunately, certain politicians oft use climate change as an excuse to impose costly mandates that hurt families and small businesses—like banning gas-powered tools or raising energy prices. These “solutions” don’t make a dent in global emissions, but they absolutely make it harder for everyday people to live their lives. What we should be doing is encouraging innovation and investing in energy independence—without punishing the middle class. That means common-sense incentives, not heavy-handed regulations. And if we’re serious about global climate solutions, we need to demand accountability from the world’s biggest polluters—like China and India. I care about protecting our environment, but I also care about protecting your wallet.
