Expand all | Collapse all

I'm a 21 year old high school graduate who volunteers at the LaGrange railroad museum in my free time and help take care of my 6 younger siblings. I am an avid model railroader but I also like to hike and go creek walking. Born and raised in Louisville and I'm proud of it.
  • I want to do what's best for the people of Louisville and make changes in Louisville that help the people who feel ignored by other politicians.
  • It is Important that Louisville has a strong mayor to combat the problems we inherit from the current united states administration.
  • I want to do my very best to get Louisville back on the map with the key part being to reconnect Louisville with the broader railroad network and getting us connections to other lager city's.
I am pro LGBTQ+, Want Louisville better connected on the map, and don't support the abhorrent acts this current administration is doing to our beloved country.
none as of yet but I'm looking for endorsements.
