I believe that elected officials should be transparent, accountable, and be firmly committed to serving the people— by being responsive to their constituent’s, responsible for informing the community of the decisions they make and aligning themselves with the needs of all. I am committed to strengthening transparency in local government and lowering the barrier for entry to participate in decision making, and ensuring our economy can grow, without neglecting those who live here. There is a pattern of mismanagement of fiscal responsibility, and short-sighted long-term plans.

For years, our elected officials have been driven by “progress for the sake of progress.” These decisions have prioritized profits over people, and they have lost sight of what truly matters. These decisions have caused an enormous strain on our infrastructure, living conditions, and livelihood. Our government— needs an overhaul, with fresh eyes, fresh minds, and a genuine drive to improve our county, and our cities'.

I believe that public office should improve the lives of everyone— not just those I am politically aligned with. 

My actions and decisions are rooted in protecting what makes Allen County great, and why I will always call it home— our land, our local businesses, and our people.
