Why I'm Running
"I've spent my life in this city - l know where we've been, and I see where we can go. My goal is to protect what makes Phenix City special while pushing for progress that benefits everyone. We need to clean up our city, fix and upgrade our infrastructure, bring in new business, and give our young people safe places to go and things to do.
A strong community is one that offers both opportunity and pride."
