Major decisions deserve careful review and honest leadership.

Issues like the BWXT rezoning proposal affect nearby neighborhoods, traffic patterns, environmental considerations, and long-term land use. Residents deserve leaders who ask tough questions and weigh impacts thoroughly before approval

The closure of the Freedom Hall pool raised concerns about transparency and community input. What is the contingency plan post closing? Whether it's zoning, public facilities, or infrastructure, integrity means decisions should be grounded in facts -- not rushed process or politics.

County government must be transparent and fiscally responsible.

From public school funding to public safety budgets to capital projects, residents deserve clear communication about how tax dollars are spent.

I support:

• Transparent budget discussions

• Clear public reporting on major expenditures

• Long-term financial planning to prevent unnecessary tax increases

• Publish minutes on a regular basis for transparency

Accountability means being accessible to District 6 residents and explaining votes clearly and directly.

Growth is coming to Washington County. The question is how we manage it wisely with thoughtful and strategic pre-planning.

Progress means:

• Planning infrastructure before approving large developments

• Protecting residential neighborhoods while supporting responsible economic growth

• Our community needs affordable housing, groceries and healthcare.

• Investing in strong public schools that strengthen property values

• Ensuring sheriff's deputies, EMS, and first responders have adequate staffing and resources

Smart growth protects both our quality of life and our financial future.
