My top three priorities are improving our streets and addressing potholes through long-term infrastructure planning; driving responsible economic development that attracts businesses and creates jobs; and ensuring a clean, safe Jennings by strengthening beautification efforts and supporting community-centered policing that builds trust and keeps residents secure.
I am qualified to serve because I have successfully completed two terms on the City Council and currently serve as mayor pro tem.

My experience ensures steady leadership, sound financial decision making and a proven record of results.
