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."

• Fix ongoing infrastructure issues (water and sewage leaks) that have plagued our city far too long
• Encourage business growth and investment
• Bring entertainment and activities for youth and families
• Support our first responders and our veterans
