| Collapse all
- I’ve had the honor of serving one term on the Clayton Town Council, where we’ve laid the foundation for exciting improvements across our community; from a major renovation of our library and expanding parks and recreation, to advancing plans for a better senior center, and investing in infrastructure and pedestrian mobility. I’m seeking a second term to continue this progress and see these important projects come to life for the people of Clayton.
- Reduce the tax burden of the community. One primary focus is to strengthen Clayton’s prosperity by growing our commercial and industrial tax base so homeowners don’t shoulder an outsized share of local taxes. A more diversified local revenue mix makes municipal budgets more resilient and helps avoid placing all budget pressure on residential property owners. This focus was started during my first term and is something that I intend on continuing with a second term.
- Prosperity for Clayton Over the past few years, we’ve worked hard to build a stronger, more vibrant Clayton; plans for revitalizing downtown, newly enhanced parks and greenways, improving roads, and expanding opportunities for local businesses. I’m running for a second term to continue that progress and ensure Clayton’s prosperity grows while preserving the small-town charm that makes our community so special.
Public safety was a key focus during my first term on the Clayton Town Council, and it will continue to be one of my top priorities moving forward.
The Town is moving ahead with plans for two new Public Safety Centers for our Police and Fire Departments. These facilities will improve coverage, reduce response times, and ultimately save lives as our community continues to grow.
