My Commitment

I believe in showing up, listening, and doing the work that makes our city stronger- for today and for the future.
I have spent 100s of hours over the last year engrossed in all things Mansfield, listening, learning, and understanding the needs and concerns of my fellow residents and city officials.

Mansfield is growing fast, but are we growing right?

Mansfield is my home, and as a long-time resident and local small business owner, I care deeply about where our city is headed. 

We’ve seen incredible growth, but it’s time to ensure that growth is managed with common sense, not just "growth for growth's sake".

I will continue to be involved and to be a voice for you—the taxpayers and the local business owners who are the backbone of this community.

My Commitment to You:

Managed Growth: Prioritizing infrastructure and feasibility so our city remains a place we all love to live. Stop chasing unnecessary development and abatements while leveraging our future tax base. 

Fiscal Responsibility: Maintaining accountability to how your tax dollars are spent, with a focus on transparency. Increased spending and over leveraging debt is unsustainable as a long-term plan. 

Not all debt is bad and some is necessary and normal, but making sure the residents understand what is going on is crucial.

Public Safety First: Ensuring our first responders have the resources they need to keep our families safe. With all the growth and development, we are already behind in some critical areas.

Support for Local Business: Cutting through the red tape to help our small business community thrive alongside national retail. Focusing on and bringing in big names and developments can be incredible for Mansfield, but we must also be mindful of the impact on our local small businesses too.

We need good, high paying and technical jobs for "Mansfield" residents. Large corporate companies can bring that along with ancillary smaller support type business...and jobs. That is a recipe for success.

Mansfield is at a crossroads. We need to continue with common-sense leadership that listens, respects taxpayers, and acts as a responsible steward of our future. 

Let’s work together and keep the Mansfield we love, a place we can continue to enjoy and appreciate. 

I have been, and will continue to work for all of us, asking the tough questions and push back on excess to ensure our city's future is built on a solid foundation.
