Since 2011, I have had the honor of serving our community on the Jefferson County Council. I have helped with everything from flood recovery, building many new government facilities (without taxes or bond issues) and significant road improvements.  

I led a brand-new, charter form of government as the first Chair of the first seven-member County Council, protected taxpayers against frivolous lawsuits, passed annual balanced budgets, saved millions restructuring existing debt and increased accessibility and accountability by putting council meeting videos online.

​

Why am I running for State Representative? 

Not every issue can or should be tackled locally - some must be addressed on a state level.  I’m ready for that challenge.

I believe in limited government, fiscal responsibly and government transparency.   Most of all, I believe elected officials are servants of the people, who should humbly work hard to ensure the people they represent are heard.  Finally, I believe actions make better value statements than mere words.
