I’m a gastroenterologist, Franklin Public School Board member, raising five kids with my amazing wife, and we are proud to call Franklin home. Our family is deeply rooted in this community, and I care about creating a safe, affordable place for our kids and yours to grow up. I’ve served on many medical missions to help people in need, and I bring that same compassion to everything I do. I’m running because I believe leadership should be grounded in service, listening, and showing up for neighbors, and I’m committed to working hard for every family across Milwaukee County.
  • I’m running because I care deeply about how Milwaukee County spends our tax dollars. As Treasurer of the Franklin Public School Board, I helped manage real budgets, strengthen our district’s financial health, and make responsible decisions that protected taxpayers while investing in students. Like many families, I feel the pressure of rising costs, property taxes, and fees. Milwaukee County needs practical leadership that understands budgets, asks tough questions, and puts residents first. I bring both experience and the perspective of a concerned neighbor who wants smart, transparent spending that works for working families and seniors.
  • Everywhere I go, I hear the same concerns from neighbors: people want transparency from elected officials, safer communities, and real investment in the places we live. Residents are frustrated when decisions happen behind closed doors, when public safety feels uncertain, and when community spaces are neglected, like the Hales Corners. I believe our tax dollars should come back to our neighborhoods through parks, infrastructure, and services that strengthen the quality of life. County government should listen, communicate clearly, and deliver results people can see.
  • Serving as Treasurer on the Franklin Public School Board taught me how important it is to be thoughtful with taxpayer dollars while never losing sight of who we’re serving. I worked to push back on large levy increases, helped move the district to a self-insured health plan that saved over $1 million, and introduced an amendment that reduced a proposed 13.2% levy hike to 5%. We also improved our credit rating, saving nearly $18 million that went back into classrooms instead of interest payments. Every decision I made was guided by one question: how does this help our students and support our teachers? I’ll bring that same people-first mindset to the Milwaukee County Board.
As a practicing physician, department chair, and assistant professor training future doctors, I see firsthand how broken systems fail patients and families. Milwaukee County oversees Health and Human Services, which makes having a medical perspective on the County Board critical. I’m passionate about expanding access to mental health care, supporting our seniors, and strengthening community-based services that keep people healthy. I don’t just study these issues, I live them every day in exam rooms, and I’m ready to bring that real-world experience to county leadership.

PRIORITIES FOR MILWAUKEE

COUNTY DISTRICT 9


Responsible Use of Tax Dollars


Taxpayers deserve a county government that respects every dollar. As Treasurer on the Franklin School Board, I’ve made it my job to balance the books responsibly while protecting the future of our schools. When a 12% levy increase was on the table, I voted no. When health insurance costs threatened to grow, I pushed for a self-insured plan that saved the district over $1 million in just three years. And when a 13.2% levy hike was proposed, I brought forward an amendment that cut it to 5%.

Because of these kinds of decisions, our district’s credit rating climbed to AA1, one of the best in Wisconsin, which meant lower interest rates and nearly $18 million in savings. That’s money redirected away from banks and back into classrooms where it belongs.

As your County Supervisor, I’ll take that same mindset to Milwaukee County: careful with spending, creative in finding savings, and focused on results that make life better for families in District 9.


Strong Parks, Roads, and Community Spaces


District 9 gives more than our fair share in taxes, yet too often we don’t see those dollars invested back into our own community. Take the Hales Corners pool. A resource that families have counted on for years, which remains closed when it should be cared for and open. We can do better. 

Our parks, pools, and roads are part of what make our community special, but they only stay strong if we take care of them. In Franklin, I supported forward-looking planning that invested in schools and public spaces while protecting taxpayers. I believe the county should approach its amenities in the same way.

As your County Supervisor, I will support needed repairs and improvements to county roads so drivers can get where they need to go safely. I will push for ongoing maintenance of county parks so they remain safe, clean, and welcoming for everyone. These are practical investments that protect property values, improve quality of life, and bring people together.


Safe Neighborhoods for Every Family


Nothing matters more to families than feeling safe at home and in the community. On the School Board, I supported hiring a second school resource officer to improve both safety and trust between students and police. I believe safety requires both accountability for crime and a strong partnership between law enforcement and the people they serve.

As your County Supervisor, I will support providing law enforcement with the tools and training they need to do their jobs effectively. I will also encourage better communication between county officials, police, and residents so that we are solving problems together. My goal is simple: safe neighborhoods where families can thrive and where trust in public safety is strong.
