My top priorities are improving our roads, protecting and enhancing our parks, and making sure residents have a voice in county government. Safe roads, quality parks and open communication help strengthen our community and maintain the high quality of life that makes St. Charles County a great place to live, work and raise a family.
I am qualified for this office because I have a proven record of public service as a county councilman and an American history educator. I understand the challenges facing our community; I listen to residents and work to make thoughtful decisions with taxpayer dollars. My experience gives me the knowledge and perspective needed to serve effectively.
