Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Fiscal responsibility & efficient government: With this, I simply mean utilizing taxpayer dollars to maximize tax payer dollar’s impact on the community. Ensuring there is accountability and forthcomingness, fair and equal treatment of those that simply ask questions of our elected officials. Finding common ground to solve problems and not attacking those with different or new ideas. Making sure the government is here to benefit the people and not hurt it by working together to bring about meaningful change by addressing critical issues such as the housing crisis, utilization of arpa, ensuring low taxes, and breaking free from bureaucratic bottlenecks and petty disagreements. We must ensure government works for the people.
• Supporting local businesses and the workforce: With this, I want to ensure we are providing the necessary resources to help ensure our local businesses are thriving. Without a strong local business we don’t have a community. For the workforce, we must ensure we are putting our local workers first and not backstabbing them. With out a strong local workforce there is no middle class. Transparency is key, and we must ensure we work with local investors and work to find new investors from the outside.
• Upholding law, order, and community values: With this, we need to continue providing the necessary tools and money to ensure we have a safe community where families don’t have to worry about their kids simply going outside and playing in the yard. We need to continue to fight crime and figure out innovative solutions to end the drug crisis. And finally upholding community values means putting family first. Without family there wouldn’t be a Vigo county. We must make sure we are finding ways to make families thrive with different activities for families to do or have for their children.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Anti-Corruption and Transparency, Combating Drugs and Crime, Energy, Criminal Justice, Housing, and Economic Development.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Characteristics or principles that are most important for an elected office is having a moral compass. Elected Officials are responsible for the making of decisions that affect all their constituents. It is important that Elected Officials follow a moral compass to ensure that not only their personal agenda is benefitting but the people as a whole. It is important that Elected Officials aren't boosting their personal egos to make themselves look like a better person. Elected Officials must be there to represent the people and that is one of my goals as County Commissioner.

What legacy would you like to leave?

As I seek the honor of serving as a Vigo County Commissioner, my ambition is to cultivate a legacy that profoundly enriches our community, ensuring that Vigo County not only improves during my tenure but also thrives long into the future. Recognizing our current lack of long-term strategic planning, I am committed to developing a comprehensive blueprint that will guide our county's development for generations. This plan will serve as a robust foundation for my successors, empowering them to continue our progress without interruption.

My vision is to create a vibrant Vigo County that excels in economic, effective governance, and social sectors, making it a model for rural innovation and community well-being. Moreover, I aspire to ignite a spirit of leadership within our residents. By fostering an environment that values collaboration, encourages civic participation, and nurtures future leaders, I aim to inspire a new generation to step forward with the courage and creativity needed to address our challenges and seize opportunities.

In doing so, I hope to leave behind not just a set of plans and policies, but a legacy of active, engaged citizenship. A community where every individual is empowered to contribute to our collective future, making Vigo County not only a place where people live but a place where people thrive.
