I'm a simple man Kentucky born and raised. I grew up in the small town of Trenton Kentucky, the son of a state trooper and nurse. I learned family values and work ethic at a young age. I learned how to serve, how to lead, how to be a man of faith and how to advocate for the underserved. I'm a proud graduate of WKU, where being a Hilltopper taught me to overcome obstacles and prepared me to be the educator I am today. In fact education is what brought me to Paducah. Now that I call this city home I want to help make it a place where we all can be proud to call home. I want to represent Paducah at the state level because it's time for new blood and for someone who will stand up and not sit down.
- Workforce Drain- Let's face it Paducah has been shrinking and has been suffering like so many other small cities in America. I am a millennial that is committed to growing Paducah, but you need more. You need more youth to live, work, and shop. We need to stop exporting our best talent to other cities. I believe in making Paducah a place where the young professionals of today can continue to grow and thrive.
- Every job in the world was made possible because of a teacher. I'm an educator, I love kids and I love what I do. People say you shouldn't fall in love with potential, but I did. I fell in love with the potential of students and the opportunity to shape such raw talent. But talent requires development and investment. Fully funding education is the only way to ensure that our children's future is protected. Teachers deserve to be compensated for their services, and schools should be fully equipped to prepare our students. If we believe in our children so much then we have to stop divesting in their future. Our children deserve better than a 2nd rate education. Our teachers deserve more than a system that takes more than it can give. I fully
- Representation- Let's face it Frankfort looks old and antiquated. It's time for new blood. It's time for someone who looks like the communities in which they serve. It's time to face the future. America is diverse, Kentucky is diverse, and Paducah too is diverse. Our legislature should be diverse. It's time to shake up the status quo. If you keep sending the same people to Frankfort, you're only going to get the same results. Let's fight for something different. It's time to have some representation that matters in Frankfort.
I am most passionate about policy related to education, social justice reform, economic development, and infrastructure
My biggest icons in life have been the late comedian and activist Dick Gregory, Muhammed Ali, and Dr. Michael Eric Dyson. These three men have influenced much of my views on life. Dick Gregory was a pillar of the civil rights movement. A man who understood the value of a good joke but the seriousness of social justice. Muhammed Ali isn't just one of my favorites because he's a Kentucky native, or that I'm a pugilist but rather his unabashed way of telling the truth and sticking up for his values. I look up to Dr. Michael Eric Dyson for his incredible intellect and amazing way of speaking to the issues of our time.
I believe that I have the temperament, the work ethic, and the conviction to be a successful office holder. I truly believe that it is time for more diversity in the state legislature. We need every day people in office. We need someone who is connected with all areas of the communities they serve not just the affluent or "good ole boys". I understand what it is like to work a regular job, what it's like to have to count every penny, but I also know boardroom etiquette and business savvy. District 3 need that kind of representative, I am that representative.
I believe that a good legislator should have fortitude, honesty, and transparency. It is important that a representative be able to stand firm on their personal convictions and political ideologies. A good representative should be honesty, able to admit when they are wrong and humble enough to admit they don't know everything. Transparency lends itself to integrity and honesty. Being able to accept criticism while still working for the best solutions for their districts and the state.
Easy question. The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. Aside from being one of my favorite authors. I fell in love with the story of Edmund Dantes and his quest for revenge that is literally plotted over years after he is wrongfully imprisoned intrigued me so much as a kid. Self-disclaimer, I am a book lover.
The size of each legislative chamber is a drastic difference. The house holds 100 while the senate only possesses 38 seats. That is a marked difference in representation.
It is beneficial but not necessary. I believe that it is more beneficial to understand parliamentary procedure.
I believe the fallout from COVID-19 will be the biggest challenge along with tax reform, and criminal justice reform.
I believe that the legislature should have a working relationship. Even when disagreements arise they should be put aside for the betterment of Kentucky. Though the jobs are political the issues are not and it is crucial the governor and the state legislature work together.
Yes. One legislature is one vote. It takes more than one vote to get anything done. Building relationships with other legislators especially across party lines is important for the sake of effective government.
I don't favor redlining or gerrymandering. But I do believe that redistricting should be decided by population.
Yes, Education, Economic Development, and judiciary
