My Commitments
To You
I'm not running to make speeches. I'm running to get things done.
My campaign is built on four simple values. Below, you will see exactly how I will turn those values into action for District 4. These are not just ideas. They are my commitments to you.
1. People First. Always.
The Promise: No special interests. No "good ole boys." Just our neighbors.
What I Will Do:
Strict Conflict of Interest Rule: I will vote against any zoning change or contract where I, my family, or my business has a financial stake. I will publicly disclose all my assets every year.
Resident-First Zoning: Before approving any new development, I will require proof that it benefits current residents (e.g., adding affordable housing units or fixing local roads) rather than just increasing developer profits.
Protect the Vulnerable: I will fight to ensure that no family is displaced by development without a guaranteed "Right to Return" to the new housing.
When the choice is between a developer's profit and a family's home, I will always choose the family."
2. Hands-on Commitment
The Promise: I won't just sit in an office. I will be in the trenches with you.
What I Will Do:
Monthly "Boots on the Ground" Days: I will spend one day every month doing direct service in District 4—visiting shelters, checking on tenants, or helping with community cleanups—and I will report back to you on what I saw.
Rapid Response Team: I will create a direct line for residents to report code violations (mold, trash, safety hazards). I promise to follow up on every report.
Open Door Hours: I will hold weekly office hours in Fort Oglethorpe and Ringgold where you can talk to me face-to-face, no appointment needed.
I've spent years helping neighbors directly. I won't stop now. I will be the Commissioner you can call.
3. Transparent & Accountable
The Promise: No secrets. No backroom deals. If I mess up, I own it.
What I Will Do:
Live Stream Everything: All commission meetings and committee hearings will be live-streamed and archived online for at least two years.
Monthly Accountability Reports: I will publish a simple, one-page report every month showing:
How I voted.
Where the tax money went.
Progress on our three big promises.
Independent Ethics Audit: I will hire a third-party auditor to review county contracts and zoning decisions once a year, with the results posted publicly.
The "Elephant" Pledge: I will never hide the truth, even when it is uncomfortable. If I see something wrong, I will speak up.
You deserve to know how your money is spent. Transparency isn't a favor; it's your right.
4. Safe & Healthy Neighbors
The Promise: Safety isn't just policing. It's food, shelter, healthcare, and dignity.
What I Will Do:
"Make Our Neighbors Fed Again": I will work to designate "food desert" areas in our county to unlock state grants for grocery stores and community gardens. I will also protect the county budget for emergency food pantries.
Tenant Protection Ordinance: I will draft a "Right to Repair" law. If a landlord ignores health hazards (like mold or no heat) for more than 14 days, tenants should have every right to force the repair or withhold rent safely.
Mental Health Crisis Team: I will partner with local hospitals to create a non-police response team for mental health emergencies, so trained medics, not armed officers, are the first to arrive.
Environmental Health Checks: I will push for regular testing of water and soil in vulnerable neighborhoods and publish the results publicly.
A safe community is one where everyone has a home, food, and healthcare. That is the baseline.
How I Will Measure Success
Promises are easy to make. Results are what matter.
Every month, I will update you on:
How many families we helped with housing.
How many code violations we fixed.
How much money we saved or redirected to neighbors.
If I don't deliver, you have the right to hold me accountable. That is the deal.
These are my promises. These are my plans. Now, I need your help to make them happen.
