Statement
I’m running for Richland City Council to help build a city where families thrive. That starts with safe neighborhoods, strong local businesses, and walkable public spaces. Richland has tremendous potential—we sit on one of the most beautiful stretches of the Columbia River, yet we’ve done little to make it part of daily life. Other cities have transformed their riverfronts into vibrant places with shops, restaurants, and gathering spots. We should do the same.

I envision a family-friendly downtown where people can walk to dinner, meet friends for coffee, or attend a community event—without needing to drive across town. Communities that invest in walkable, welcoming spaces see stronger businesses and more connected neighborhoods. Richland can match that energy while honoring its identity.

My approach is practical, disciplined, and rooted in service. Whether in national security or nuclear oversight, I’ve built a career solving tough problems and keeping people safe. I’ll bring that same commitment to city government—focused on strengthening our community for those who live here now and those to come.

As a soon-to-be father, I want to shape a Richland where the next generation can grow, belong, and thrive. I care about Richland’s future—for my family and yours.
