I am the principal of a locally owned real estate firm and have worked extensively with homeowners, lenders, builders, and local officials. That experience has shaped my belief that effective local government should be transparent, accessible, and focused on practical outcomes rather than ideology.

That includes supporting policies that protect the safety and well-being of vulnerable populations, including transgender youth, and ensuring that schools and community institutions ar
