WHAT
I BELIEVE
ON THE ISSUES.
To me, serving in office is not about politics. Rather, it is about public service. Knoxville Is my home, community, and the place where I was born and raised. Knoxville is already an amazing place to live, but I want to see us strive to be even better. More than anything, my goal as a commissioner is to leave Knox County in a better than I found it.
Our county is changing rapidly as thousands of new people move here every year and with that come increased demands on our infrastructure, school system, law enforcement, and every other service that our local government provides. We must be proactive in addressing these changes so that we stay ahead of the curve, not behind it.
Low Taxes
Reduce Traffic and Congestion
Economic Growth and Taxes
Knox County attracts so many people because we are an afforadable place to call home. My goal is to keep Knox County one of the least-taxed counties in the state of Tennessee.
The traffic situation in Knox County is reaching
a critical point. Knox County is anticipated to add 100,000 new residents over the next 20 years. I will make safety and infrastructure
improvements in District 4 a top priority and will vigorously advocate for additional state funding for our key roadways.
Hold New Development Accountable
New development should help fund to the infrastructure it necessitates. I will advocate for fair and standardized
infrastructure cost-sharing agreements with developers, ensuring that new developments do not unfairly burden taxpayers.
Public
Safety and Education
Our first responders and teachers are the backbone to our community and the most important public services that Knox County provides. I want to continue to
support both these individuals by providing public support, supporting retention efforts, and by offering competitive wages.
We must continue to proactively recruit new businesses and companies to Knoxville while also fostering an environment that attracts both employers and employees to the area. People and employers choose Knox County because we are one of the least taxed communities in the Tennessee, and I will do everything I can to keep it that way.
Homelessness
I will work with state and local officials to
ensure a full-scale mental health facility returns to Knox County in a timely fashion
I'll also vote for policies to increase the housing supply and slow inflation in the housing market. We need to provide the resources and tools to help serve those in need.
