Transparency, safety and communication must be the foundation of our county government. If residents do not know what is happening, they cannot participate. If they feel ignored or afraid to speak up, their voices are lost. Finally, when people are not told the truth, misinformation spreads and division grows.
I bring common sense, practical real-world experience and accountability. As a small business owner and job creator, I understand budgets, payroll, problem-solving and making tough decisions. I am also not accepting any outside campaign money, so all of my attention can remain focused on the residents, because they are who I am held accountable to.

Occupation
Undersheriff/chief financial officer, Jefferson County Sheriff's Department
My top priorities are responsible growth, transparent government and fiscal stewardship. Jefferson County must invest in infrastructure and public safety before growth outpaces our resources, communicate openly with residents and manage taxpayer dollars with the same discipline that families use to manage their own budgets.
I bring years of executive leadership experience in Jefferson County government, serving as undersheriff and chief financial officer. I've managed large budgets, led hundreds of employees and made critical decisions under pressure. My proven leadership and fiscal management experience have prepared me to lead county government on day one.
