Let's make Butler County innovative affordable & accountable
I’m a problem solver, not a politician - and I think it's time for new ideas and real solutions. I’m not looking to make a 20-year career out of this. I’m looking to roll up my sleeves and get to work by bringing my real-world experience to the table. My goal is simple: to make sure Butler County welcomes innovation while remaining true to its roots as the best place to live, work and raise our families.
In recent years, our community has begun to price retirees and young families out, and we have not seen the accountability and transparency we need when it comes to oversight of our tax dollars. I'm running for Butler County Commission District 5 because it's time for new ideas, affordability and accountability. I look forward to visiting with you over the next few weeks, and I hope to earn your vote on Tuesday, August 4.
Affordability & Property Taxes
A growing cost of living combined with increasing property taxes are concerns for our community. I am committed to local decision-making that makes Butler County more affordable for our families, retirees, and new residents. That includes encouraging economic growth that provides long-term opportunity for our community. I’m deeply invested in the future of our community – for my family and yours.
Accountability & Transparency
I believe in responsible government that works for the people - not the other way around. My priorities include supporting local economic growth, maintaining fiscal responsibility and improving infrastructure. First and foremost, we must make sure our taxpayer dollars are spent wisely and that county decisions are made through an open, transparent process.
