About

Why I’m running

A simple principle has defined my life: step up when help is needed. That commitment to service has never wavered, and it is the driving force behind my decision to run.

Following Commissioner Hall's passing, I felt a deep responsibility to honor his legacy by continuing the work he championed. Our paths in service share deep roots, and my approach reflects the same values he upheld: steady work, accountability, and putting people first.

For me, this isn't about a title—it is about showing up. I am running because I want to see our community move forward. I want us to take pride in our home, secure the resources we deserve, and build thoughtfully on the strong foundation laid before us.

Experienced leader with a talent for inspiring teams and delivering significant results.
