The Board of County Commissioners is the legislative and policy-setting body for Palm Beach County government. Seven commissioners are elected, in staggered years, from single-member districts to represent the entire county. A commissioner is limited to two consecutive terms, each term lasting four years. The commission itself elects the county mayor to preside over its meetings and serve as ceremonial head of county government, as well as a vice mayor to fill in for the mayor. Commission meetings and workshops are held on Tuesdays; all are open to the public. The FY 2025-26 salary for a County Commissioner is $127,320.

My School Board experience gave me a firsthand understanding of how to build partnerships across nonprofit, civic, religious, and government sectors to get things done. I have worked directly with local businesses to help them compete for government contracts, and I bring years of budget management experience to this role, having worked alongside both the staff who build budgets and the employees who depend on them.
My priorities are straightforward. Manage growth responsibly so residents have a voice in development decisions and infrastructure keeps pace. Fix our traffic through smarter signal technology and real transit investment. Expand workforce housing so teachers, nurses, and firefighters can afford to live here. Fully fund public safety and support the people who protect us. And spend every tax dollar like it belongs to the people, because it does.
As County Commissioner, I will work to reduce spending on nonessential services to ensure we have the adequate funding we need to to keep high quality essential services. Besides cutting spending, we should also explore other ways to create revenue to maintain the quality of life our residents expect. We need to ask ourselves what is the primary role of government and if we are prioritizing what our residents and community really need to function. It won't be easy but there is always a way.
The rising cost of living is the number one pressure District 2 residents are feeling right now. At the county level, that means reviewing every line of spending, eliminating waste, and pursuing outside funding before asking taxpayers to carry the load. It also means expanding workforce housing options and supporting local businesses that create jobs and keep dollars circulating right here in Palm Beach County.
