I am seeking elected office because I want to take a more active and proactive role in serving my community. I care deeply about where we live, and I believe local government works best when it is made up of people who are willing to step up, stay involved, and be part of the solution—not just observe from the sidelines.

I’m motivated by a commitment to fiscal responsibility, transparency, and making sure our township is serving residents effectively while respecting taxpayer dollars. I want to help ensure that decisions are made fairly, openly, and with accountability to the people.

One of my greatest strengths is my strong work ethic and willingness to show up prepared. I pay attention to detail, ask questions
The most important duties of a Township Board member are fiscal oversight, accountability, and ensuring that township assistance is administered fairly and efficiently. The board serves as a check on the Township Trustee, and that responsibility should be taken seriously.
I believe transparency and accountability are fundamental responsibilities of local government. If elected, I will work closely with the Township Trustee to ensure that every request for assistance and every dollar spent is handled with integrity and openness.
I believe the Township Trustee should work with a combination of local government agencies, faith-based groups, and private organizations to best serve those in need—because community-based solutions are often more effective and more responsive than one-size-fits-all government programs.

That includes partnering with county-level services, local nonprofits, churches, and especially food banks and pantries. These organizations are already doing important work on the ground, and strengthening those relationships can help ensure resources reach people efficiently. At the same time, I strongly support protecting the character and long-term stability of our community. We should be thoughtful about development and avoid over-industry
