Reduced state funding through the Local Government Fund has shifted the financial burden onto our county, forcing local residents to cover the gap for essential services despite rising operational costs. I support restoring state funding to historical levels to ensure that Clermont County receives its fair share of tax revenue without being forced to rely on constant local levy increases. My priority is to secure state-backed "circuit-breaker" funding to support a tiered tax solution that protects our long-term property owners from being priced out of their homes.
I bring over a decade of hands-on experience as a small business owner in Clermont County, providing me with the fiscal discipline and real-world understanding of the economic pressures facing our residents. My proven track record in legislative advocacy, specifically co-authoring the Sibling Preservation and Visitation Act, demonstrates my technical ability to navigate government and move meaningful policy forward. Above all, I offer a leadership style rooted in Integrity, Honesty, and Transparency, ensuring that the voice of the community—not reckless development—drives our county’s future.
I hope to stop reckless development and implement a tiered tax solution that protects long-term property owners from being priced out of their homes.
