Why I'm Running
Preserve and Improve our Quality of Life in Novi.
Novi needs strong, community-minded leaders to keep us on the right track. Our residents (you!) are truly the lifeblood of our great city, and my goal is to preserve and even improve our community's prosperity, our schools, and quality of life.
My focus is preserving our parks, funding our schools and city roads, supporting our public safety officers, and other than that, keeping our government efficient and affordable.
I will not support any effort by our city government to engage in inappropriate political advocacy on the issues of the day that are not the proper role of city government.
Protect our First Responders.
Our police and fire fighters put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe. We've seen in other cities the disaster that results when the public turns its back on its men and women in uniform. Every resident of Novi has the right to rest assured that our police are fully funded and ready to respond to any emergency. I became a Novi resident because of its sterling reputation. I will support law enforcement and make sure Novi remains a safe community throughout my term of office.
Defend the Rights of Local Businesses.
Whatever your opinion on the public health and safety measures imposed in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, everyone should agree that the only effective management effort occur at the state and federal level. The virus knows no geographic boundaries; for any local government to impose lockdowns, sanctions, and penalties would only cause local harm to the small business community.
Say No to Special Interests.
It's impossible to ignore the ugly influence that money has on politics, and it damages every community as a whole when politicians put the interests of well-connected lobbyists ahead of the best interests of the community at large. The vast majority of residents are too busy with life to monitor and advocate for their own interests at City Hall; if elected to represent us on the City Council I pledge to always put first the interests of the community as a whole.

Improve transparency in government and city finances.
If there is a City Council announcement, hearing, or vote that will impact you-then you deserve to know about it and be engaged in it. I am committed to ensuring more people know what decisions the Council is considering well in advance of any votes.
Improve city services.
City service personnel are public servants, and earn a generous paycheck for their work. The city council should work diligently to ensure we are delivering the most effective public services at the best possible price to hard-working taxpayers.
A Better Future for Our Families
I believe that America's best days are not behind us. I will fight so the American dream can survive for the next generation. This means defending the values that allowed my family to thrive so others can achieve their dreams in a free country.
