I’m running because our community needs steady, practical leadership, not extremism, not grandstanding, and not politics that leave people behind. I believe government works best when all voices are heard and decisions are made with common sense and care.

My focus is on the things that matter most to everyday families: affordability, access to healthcare, strong local jobs, and smart growth that preserves the small-town character we value. That includes supporting small businesses and farms, expanding workforce development, and making sustainable choices that keep our community strong for generations.

Education will always be a top priority. We must fully fund our schools, support special education, and invest in mental health resources. I see it as one part of a broader commitment to building a community where people can afford to live, work, and thrive.
