Welcome

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. 

I take pride in my conservative values and my reputation as a fiscal hawk. I ran an Assessor's budget that was considered one of the most fiscally responsible budgets in the state with no audit issues throughout my tenure. We were able to deliver exceptional services to the citizens at a cost to the taxpayers that was consistently under the national average. 

Accountability is best achieved with policies of transparency and open government. I will leverage technology to provide citizens with the ability to access information and easily interpret data. I will be diligent in ensuring citizens have a voice and will continue to fight those who wish to silence that voice. In short,  I am battle-tested voice for the citizens of Sumner County.
