KEY ISSUES
Fair Leadership & Fiscal Responsibility
Responsible leadership starts with respecting taxpayer dollars. My experience on school board and as a county commissioner has given me a strong foundation in building and managing balanced budgets. I believe every department must be accountable, with spending focused on real needs—not unnecessary wants.
During my time as commissioner, we made tough decisions to keep the budget balanced while protecting essential services. I also worked closely with the city, townships, sheriff’s office, and fire departments to consolidate 911 dispatch services—improving efficiency, reducing costs, and strengthening emergency response to keep our community safe.
Industry & Economic Growth
A strong economy creates opportunity for everyone. I am committed to attracting new industry and supporting local businesses to bring quality jobs to Marion County.
By encouraging smart development and expanding access to housing, we can make our county a place where people come to work—and choose to stay to build their lives. My focus is on sustainable growth that strengthens our workforce, supports families, and secures long-term success for our community.
Stronger Partnerships with Our Communities
We are strongest when we work together. I believe the county should be a true partner to our townships and the city—listening, collaborating, and taking action to address shared challenges.
By building strong relationships and maintaining open communication, we can solve problems more effectively and deliver better services across Marion County. Working together ensures every community has a voice and a path forward.
A Better Place to Live and Raise a Family
Marion County is a place I’ve been proud to call home and raise my family, and I want to ensure that for everyone in our community. I am committed to improving quality of life by supporting safe neighborhoods, strong infrastructure, and opportunities for future growth.
By investing in our communities today, we can create a county where families thrive, businesses grow, and the next generation chooses to stay and succeed right here at home.
