Why I'm running...

As I meet friends, old and new, they ask me why I am running for City Council; I love it when they do that!

After my faith and my family, this city, Alpharetta, has always been in me and I want Alpharetta to thrive and provide for future generations what it did for me!

For Alpharetta to thrive going future, we must to work together every day to improve our city and not be just be satisfied.

Public Safety

Providing for the public's safety is absolute priority for cities and Alpharetta is blessed with a great group of individuals making up our Police, Fire, E-911, EMS and affiliated services. When elected I will always place a priority on supporting those individuals because they are always there for us!

My first take action will be immediately advocate to add at least 4 patrol officers to our police department so new growth is covered without overtime or leaving zones uncovered.

Lower Taxes

Alpharetta taxpayers haven't seen a lower property rate in over 10 years.  When elected I will work with city staff using my education and small business experience to identify opportunities for implementing efficiencies to actually lower the rate.

Financial Management and Responsibility

Alpharetta taxpayers money must not be used as political currency by elected Councilmembers as it has been previously. When elected I will ensure citywide needs are place above political wants when developing general fund budgets and bond projects. I will always put Alpharetta citizens, all of them, first when doing our budget.

Transportation

Alpharetta has seen significant growth in the past decade and our citizens have experience great hardship during the pandemic, economic uncertainty will be around for years.  For too long some on Council have place our community needs below the political wishes. When elected I will focus on and promote transportation options that residents centered and enable movement within Alpharetta.
