WHERE I STAND
I STAND WITH & FOR THE CITIZENS OF DISTRICT 4
PROPERTY RIGHTS
& ZONING
County government should not be zoning its own citizens out of their land to benefit others. I believe in protecting existing property rights, reviewing restrictive regulations, and ensuring rules are applied equally and lawfully.
TAXES & BUDGET ACCOUNTABILITY
Every vote involving taxpayer dollars carries responsibility. Before asking working families to pay more, commissioners should fully understand existing funds, reserves, and off‑budget accounts. Transparency is not optional when public money is involved.
SCHOOLS & TRANSPARENCY
I support quality education and recognize it requires public funding. Because it is publicly funded, it must also be transparent. No taxpayer‑funded entity should accumulate large reserves while simultaneously requesting tax increases without clear explanation.
LOCAL ECONOMY & TOURISM
Hickman County has real assets that can’t be manufactured or bought with tax dollars. Our rivers, land, history, and rural character support tourism and small businesses without sacrificing who we are. Economic growth should build up locals, not price them out.
COUNTY GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY
Public service is not about comfort or connections. It’s about oversight, ethics, and doing the work in the open. I will ask questions, request records, and insist on accountability because that’s the job.
