Statement

I’ve called Richland my hometown since 1977. I’ve watched it grow from a quiet town into a vibrant, thriving community and am proud to have been part of that journey. It’s where I married my wife, raised our three daughters, and built a life rooted in faith, family, and service. Now, I’m running for Richland City Council to help shape its future with steady, experienced leadership.

My priorities are clear: responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars, strong public safety, and sustainable growth. I believe in conservative, transparent budgeting that strengthens infrastructure and improves everyday services without waste or unnecessary spending.

Public safety is vital to a strong community. I will work closely with law enforcement, first responders, and local organizations to support proactive, neighborhood-based strategies that keep Richland safe, without raising taxes.

With years of legislative experience, I’ve advocated for eight state laws that defend personal freedoms, improve transportation, and protect citizen rights. I know how to turn policy into action and results.

As Richland continues to grow, we must balance progress with preserving the character that makes our city special and champion thoughtful development that supports local families and businesses.

With your vote, we can build a safer, stronger Richland.
