Why I’m Running. . .

I want to cultivate an environment where individuals, families, and businesses feel secure going about their day-to-day activities. My drive to campaign stems from my strong desire to serve and protect my community.  As your County Councilmember, I will be hands-on in our neighborhoods, creating change throughout Pierce County. I will fight for affordability, safety, and bettering our county.

My military and law enforcement experience has provided me with a wealth of knowledge and insight into civil rights and public safety issues. I will use this experience to make sound decisions and initiate policies that make a difference. I understand that public safety encompasses more than just crime prevention; we must also address public health and emergency preparedness.

Communities thrive when residents have access to the resources needed to live healthy, stable lives. We must invest in our public health programs to help our vulnerable populations struggling with homelessness or addiction. I understand how crucial it is to fund programs that prioritize and address these issues to create a strong community foundation.

Your County Council should reflect your interests. I promise to be your boots on the ground councilmember that will:

·       Address homelessness and addiction

·       Keep taxes low

·       Advocate for strong safety measures

·       Focus on infrastructure needs

·       Serve the people’s interests

Together we can build a strong, thriving Pierce County.
