| Collapse all
- Charleston works best when neighborhoods are strong, walkable, and locally driven. Ward 9 deserves thoughtful attention to everyday quality-of-life issues like infrastructure, lighting, safety, and responsible development that respects existing residents while encouraging smart growth.
- I bring real-world experience as a small business operator who understands budgets, regulation, and economic realities. That perspective matters at City Hall, where decisions directly affect local employers, workers, and residents.
- My approach is collaborative and solutions-oriented. I support the progress Charleston has made and believe the next step is tightening execution, improving communication, and ensuring city resources are used efficiently and transparently.
