Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I was born and raised in the suburbs of south Kansas City, and for the past decade, I’ve worked with local policymakers to help improve the lives of ordinary people.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• I believe that people are paramount; meaning that people should be at the center of decision making at all levels of government. I’m committed to a people-first approach that makes Jackson County’s services more easily accessible to the public.
• Transparency is critical. It ensures accountability and builds public trust in government processes like property tax assessments or contract approvals.
• Transportation is vital to setting up the region for success. Having a transportation plan that meets people's needs and connects communities will help develop Jackson County.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Transparency & Anti-Corruption

Transportation

Public Health
