I will want to prioritize funding for police, fire, and EMS to ensure fast response times and proper staffing. I will also want to invest in Infrastructure & Maintenance all around Tippecanoe County.
Listening to the needs of those departments that are closest to the area they serve. We can maintain being financially sound while also meeting the needs within our County.
I would want to encourage diverse housing options in our county to meet the needs of different income levels. I would also want to modernize zoning while reducing barriers for developers in our community.
