Statement
I am honored to be considered for election to the Kennewick City Council, Ward 1.  With a proven record of integrity, problem-solving, and success, I bring a practical approach focused on cutting red tape and helping citizens achieve their goals.

As a married father of five, I understand the everyday challenges families in Kennewick face. It’s essential to keep the city budget lean while creating opportunities for new businesses, supporting job growth, and maintaining the vital public services we rely on. I also believe in expanding access to wholesome, family-oriented activities— entertainment and sporting events—that strengthen our community identity and enrich daily life.

I have extensive experience navigating local, state, and federal regulations, which enables me to advocate effectively for practical, community-first and local solutions.

Top priorities for Kennewick include maintaining and improving fire and police coverage; enhancing the waterfront, including Columbia Park; enhancing parks and recreational opportunities; revitalizing Downtown; supporting continued development of Vista Field and the Convention Center; and fostering economic growth through thoughtful planning and strong community partnerships.

I recognize projects like these require time, persistence, and collaboration. I am excited to continue working alongside citizens and businesses to create lasting success for the City of Kennewick.
