Public Elected Offices Held Raymore City Councilman (2017-2024)
Incumbent? YES or NO No
Better amenities, more jobs, convenient shopping and dining, and stronger economic vitality—that benefit everyone already living here and those joining us.

To make sure these improvements truly enhance our quality of life, new projects should include essential infrastructure upgrades like improved roads, sewers, and traffic calming.

This responsible approach allows thoughtful growth that supports our neighborhoods, keeps our streets safe and peaceful, and builds an even better Raymore for all residents.
I’m running for the Raymore City Council because I want to make sure our city keeps growing in a sensible, responsible way. That means protecting the high-quality public services we rely on every day, investing in roads, parks, and infrastructure, and keeping taxes reasonable for the families who call Raymore home. It also means supporting smart development that brings jobs and opportunity—without losing the neighborhood character that makes our city special.
