Putting Taxpayer Dollars to Work

As your County Commissioner, I believe every tax dollar should be treated with the same care families use when managing their household budgets.

• Conduct regular reviews of county spending to ensure government operates efficiently.
• Pursue state and federal grants whenever possible to reduce the burden on local taxpayers.
• Support transparent budgeting so residents can see where their money is going and how it benefits the community.

"Ashland County taxpayers deserve accountability, efficiency, and results."

Maintaining Roads, Bridges, and Essential Infrastructure

Strong communities depend on reliable infrastructure. From township roads to county bridges, we must plan ahead instead of waiting for problems to become emergencies.

• Support long-term infrastructure planning and responsible maintenance schedules.
• Advocate for investments that improve safety and reduce costly future repairs.
• Expand access to reliable high-speed internet in underserved areas of the county.
• Balance growth while protecting the rural character and farmland that make Ashland County special.

"We can welcome progress without losing what makes Ashland County home."

Supporting Public Safety and Emergency Services

Every resident deserves to know that help will be there when they need it.

• Support our Sheriff's Office, dispatchers, firefighters, EMS personnel, and emergency responders.
• Ensure county departments have the resources necessary to serve residents effectively.
• Encourage partnerships that address mental health and addiction challenges before they become crises.
• Promote public safety solutions that are both effective and fiscally responsible.

"Public safety isn't a partisan issue—it's a community responsibility."

Strengthening Our Local Economy

Ashland County succeeds when local businesses, workers, and families succeed.

• Support small businesses and entrepreneurs who create jobs in our community.
• Encourage responsible economic development that benefits residents and protects local interests.
• Partner with schools, colleges, and workforce programs to prepare workers for in-demand careers.
• Promote opportunities that help young people build their futures right here in Ashland County.

"We should be creating opportunities that keep our children and grandchildren here."

Transparent, Accessible Government

County government should be open, accountable, and easy to access.

• Listen first and lead second.
• Hold regular opportunities for residents to share concerns and ideas.
• Make county information easier to access and understand.
• Work collaboratively with townships, villages, cities, and community organizations.

"You deserve a commissioner who answers calls, returns emails, and shows up."

A Commissioner for All of Ashland County

I am running because I believe local government works best when it focuses on people, not politics. Whether you live in Ashland, Loudonville, Perrysville, Savannah, Polk, Hayesville, Mifflin, or anywhere in between, you deserve a county government that listens, plans responsibly, and puts our community first.

"Together, we can keep Ashland County a great place to live, work, and raise a family."
