My commitment to Fayetteville is rooted in service. I spent twenty-eight years in the Army where I learned the value of dedication, collaboration, and leadership. Now, as a local business owner focused on nuclear fusion, I bring that same spirit of innovation and progress to our community. I believe Fayetteville deserves thoughtful stewardship and forward-thinking solutions. As a candidate, my priorities are clear. First, I want to beautify Fayetteville by cleaning up local businesses, adding flowers, trees, and green spaces, and supporting unique small businesses that give our town its charm. I am determined to balance growth so that Fayetteville retains its small-town feel, even as we move forward. Second, I will work to enhance our city's strategic plan. This means reviewing and improving our current blueprint; listening to your ideas; collaborating with leaders and experts; and setting clear goals for safety, cleanliness, and community enjoyment.
Finally, I recognize that new housing brings both opportunities and challenges.- My first goal is to make Fayetteville an even more beautiful place to live, especially for young families and small businesses that are not retail stores, like offices or creative studios. I want to clean up our local businesses and encourage everyone to take pride in how our city looks. When our city is neat, clean, and attractive, more families and businesses will want to call Fayetteville home. I believe we can grow our city in a way that is smart and responsible. This means making sure new projects fit in with our city’s charming and peaceful feel, instead of changing what makes Fayetteville special.
- Fayetteville has already made great progress with its current strategic plan. I want to take what’s working and make it even better. By looking at the plan, we can identify areas that need more attention and come up with creative solutions. We should look at the city’s strengths but also be honest about our weaknesses and threats—things that could be problems in the future. For example, maybe some areas don’t have enough parks/green spaces, or some roads need fixing. We need to find these problems and work together to fix them. • Review the current city plan and see where we can do better. • Listen to citizens’ ideas and suggestions for improving Fayetteville. • Work with leaders and experts to create new ways to solve problems.
- New houses mean more people, which is good for our city, but it also brings challenges. More families can change traffic patterns, put stress on our roads, and affect water and sewage systems. It can also impact our schools and health services, like hospitals and urgent care. We have to plan ahead. Each time new housing is added, we need to think about the “second and third order effects”—the changes that happen because of the growth. We want growth to help everyone, not create problems. • Study how new housing will affect traffic and make plans to avoid traffic jams. • Upgrade roads, water lines, and sewage systems before they get overcrowded. • Make sure schools have enough space and teachers for new students. • Talk to local hospitals
