Home — Good Government Starts Here

My priorities

Foster smart commercial and residential development to grow our tax base while maintaining the character of our neighborhoods.
Attract more restaurant and retail options to western Shawnee. I will work with the Council and anyone interested in bringing more restaurant and retail options to our area.
Diversify our housing stock to meet the needs of our population no matter their life stage.

Ensure the city does everything possible to keep Shawnee a welcoming, accessible, and inclusive community.
Increase connectivity by enhancing our sidewalk and bike path network so our residents can better access schools, green spaces and our trail network.
Complete the Achieve Shawnee strategic plan and work together to see it through in the future.
Ensure an open and accessible city government.

National politics has become far too ugly and divisive. That's not who we are in western Shawnee. From day one, I have worked with council members, community leaders and citizens across the spectrum to solve problems and improve our lives and our neighborhoods. I want to sit down, talk through issues and see where we can reach common ground. Send me a message, let's talk!

Work to decrease the tax burden on our homeowners. We choose to live in Shawnee because of our incredible schools and parks, safe neighborhoods, and close-knit sense of community. I am sensitive to the overall tax burden we all bear. We must continue efforts to grow our commercial tax base.
Maintain vital city services without increasing property taxes. I will not advocate or vote for anything that would cause a reduction in the vital services provided by our excellent police, fire and public works departments.

Maintain high quality services and amenities. Our residents deserve high quality services and amenities. This includes vital city services including Police, Fire, Public Works, and Parks infrastructure and programming.
