Fluvanna County voters in 2025 will participate in a special election to fill the position of Commissioner of the Revenue, one of the county’s five constitutional officers. The Commissioner serves as the chief tax-assessing official, overseeing the assessment of real and personal property, administering tax relief programs for veterans, the elderly, and disabled, maintaining land-use valuations, and managing property ownership records and parcel maps. Given that this election will fill an unexpired term through 12/31/2027, this election is critical—those elected will ensure fair and equitable taxation and help determine funding levels for vital county services like schools, infrastructure, and public safety.

Biography
I am seeking election in the upcoming special election for Commissioner of the Revenue. A graduate of Virginia Tech, I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science with a minor in Agricultural and Applied Economics and am also a Certified Master Deputy Commissioner through the University of Virginia. For the past 12 years, I have served in the Commissioner’s Office—nine of those as a Certified Master Deputy—and previously worked two years in the County’s Planning Department. My extensive training in fiscal management and budget development has prepared me to manage the wide-ranging responsibilities of this office. Coming from a fifth-generation farming family in Fluvanna, I know the importance of protecting our rural character through the land use program, which prevents overdevelopment that strains our schools, infrastructure, and way of life. On November 4th, be sure to elect the most qualified and experienced person.
I offer the proven qualifications and experience needed to serve effectively as Commissioner of the Revenue. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree from Virginia Tech with a major in Animal Science and a minor in Agricultural and Applied Economics. I am also a Certified Master Deputy Commissioner of the Revenue through the University of Virginia. My 14 years of local government experience include 12 years in the Commissioner of the Revenue’s Office—9 of those as a Certified Deputy Commissioner of the Revenue—along with 2 years in the Fluvanna Planning Department. In addition, I have a strong connection to our community as a member of a fifth-generation Fluvanna farming family. This combination of training, hands-on experience, and deep local heritage makes me well-prepared to continue serving our county with knowledge, fairness, and dedication.
Fair and accurate assessments are at the heart of keeping our tax system balanced. I’ll work closely with the assessing firm the County utilizes to make sure property values line up with real market conditions and are applied consistently across the county. Just as important, residents need to understand how these assessments are determined and I will work to provide straightforward explanations. I will also provide them with the resources to appeal their assessment if they feel they’ve been unfairly assessed. I’ll focus on making the process transparent and fair, so every resident can feel confident their property is being valued appropriately.
The Commissioner of the Revenue is elected to serve the citizens of Fluvanna County. I will build on my years of experience to improve transparency, expand taxpayer education, and enhance customer service. This equates to providing clearer information about assessments, deadlines, and tax responsibilities so residents can easily understand their bills. I’ll also strengthen communication through expanded online resources, timely reminders, and community events to ensure every taxpayer has access to the guidance they need. Whether online, by phone, or in person, my goal is to make sure taxpayers always receive clear answers, timely service, and the respect they deserve.
Fluvanna already has strong tax relief programs for seniors, veterans, and residents with limited income, but there is always room for improvement. I would continue to ensure these programs are administered accurately and fairly, while expanding outreach so more eligible residents are aware of these opportunities. This would be accomplished by promoting them through online resources, printed materials, and direct outreach. Hosting community workshops and partnering with local organizations will also help ensure that people not only know about these programs but also feel comfortable navigating the application process.
