Priorities & Accomplishments
Platform
-
I am committed to building a city where every resident—regardless of neighborhood—can thrive. That starts with ensuring safe, livable housing for all.
-
Our neighborhoods must be places where families feel secure and proud to call home. Through strong code enforcement, we will maintain community standards consistently across the entire city
-
I voted against the tax increase (millage rate) in 2024 because I am listening to the voices of our residents—many of whom are already struggling to keep up with the rising cost of living in this economic climate.
-
-
Creating workforce housing to ensure that employees from various income levels can live in the city of Lawrenceville.
-
Sustainable growth. We must ensure our infrastructure—roads, water systems, public transportation—can handle new development. Traffic concerns must be addressed before they become daily obstacles. Growth should benefit residents, not burden them.
-
I am committed to protecting affordability and preventing displacement. People should never be priced out or pushed out of their homes due to unchecked development. That’s why I support policies that balance progress with protection.
-
-
A safe city is a strong city. I will continue to support our police department with the resources and training needed to strengthen relationships with the community and enhance public safety.
-
Ongoing professional development and training for officers is essential—not just to improve outcomes, but to ensure policing is rooted in trust, transparency, and accountability.
-
By investing in public safety through community engagement and continued training, we build stronger, safer neighborhoods for everyone.
-
-
Small business owners are more than just entrepreneurs—they are neighbors, job creators, and vital contributors to our community’s identity and economic growth. I will prioritize ongoing, meaningful engagement to listen, learn, and respond to their evolving needs.
-
Through partnerships focusing on expanding access to funding programs, technical assistance, and support services that empower small businesses to grow and succeed.
