Our seniors, young families, and workers deserve housing that they can afford. Our homeowners deserve responsible development that protects and increases the value of their homes. Working with all stakeholders, we must find housing solutions that work for everyone.

Everyone, regardless of where they’re from or what they look like, deserves the opportunity to work hard and share in our community's success. Supporting small and local businesses is an essential aspect of this goal. But so is supporting our working poor and economically exploited.

Smart, cost-effective investments in water preservation, invasive species management, and emissions mitigation will save our community millions and fulfill our promise to protect our land, air, and water for future generations.

As a communications professional, I look forward to making our county government more transparent and responsive to citizen feedback. Trust in local government is essential to dealing with our challenges, especially at a time when the Trump administration is spreading chaos and lies.

With uncertainty in supply chains and fading public interest, our Adams County agriculture needs a champion who will protect our rural communities. I look forward to supporting agriculture, expanding it wherever possible, and bringing young workers and aspiring homeowners into the food production system.

Voters are tired of politicians who break promises and try to manipulate public opinion instead of telling the truth. At a time when our democracy is at a breaking point, it's our responsibility to commit to a more ethical politics that regains public trust and involves ordinary people in government decisionmaking.
