  • Healthcare in our current time is more important than ever. In order for our economy to return and grow, Seminole County residents need affordable healthcare access, preventative safety measures, and elected leaders who are willing to respond and assist with residents' needs from our state government.
  • Education is the cornerstone of progress and growth. Our children are in positions to solve the world's biggest, most pressing issues. We should do everything in our power to invest in public education for all of our students. I am the product of the Seminole County Public School system and have experienced firsthand the opportunities provided by a solid education. That is why I believe in fully funding our public school system and giving teachers the power to teach so that all of our children have equal access to the best education we can offer them.
  • Stewardship of our environment is critical to Seminole County. My earliest and most fond memories are walking down the St. Johns River with my grandmother. That very same river today is littered with trash and chemicals, depriving current and future generations of its natural beauty. Our quiet way of life is threatened by developers and companies who believe they are more entitled to our natural resources than we are. I will protect our water and rural boundaries and ensure that every generation after us can enjoy the same beautiful District 28 that we grew up enjoying.
I am a true servant-leader, trusted by the Sanford City Commission and the Seminole County Commission to lead on community boards and through advisory roles. My passion is helping people through an organized, businesslike approach, and I will provide the residents of District 28 with responsive, fiscally responsible leadership that prioritizes public education, affordable healthcare, and creating meaningful employment.
