What would be your top three priorities, if elected?

I will work to increase transparency on the village council. As a former village council member (2013-2017), I know that transparency in how municipal decisions are made is vital for a healthy, functioning government — both transparency among council members and transparency with the village community. I will encourage collaboration among all council members and communicate regularly with the village community.

I will work to make sure your taxes are used effectively and efficiently while maintaining the lowest possible tax rate.

I will respect and protect Flat Rock's historic character. I grew up coming to Flat Rock every year, as my mother’s family has for generations, and I have seen Flat Rock grow in population yet still keep its rural sense of place. I think it’s important that we retain our rural mountain character even as we work hard to develop solutions for any issues that may arise.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

As it was for centuries past, the Village of Flat Rock is still a place to escape the summer heat of the Lowcountry, but it is also now a village with year-round residents in a fast-growing county.

This means that our village council must strive harder to connect with village residents and property owners, listen to what they have to say, and work together with the entire village community to make sure Flat Rock keeps its historic character, scenic roads, and small-town ambience—the very reasons we have all made Flat Rock our home. 

If elected this November, I will work to represent you by reaching out to gather information from the entire community so that we can develop smart solutions together to address village concerns.
