I want to sincerely thank everyone who supported me, encouraged me, volunteered their time, and stood beside me throughout this journey. While I am disappointed that I will not be moving forward as the candidate in the general election, I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have run and for every person who believed in me along the way.
This campaign required an enormous amount of time, energy, sacrifice, and dedication. I have decided not to run again. I could not have done it without the amazing team that stood beside me with unwavering support, passion, and commitment. Words cannot fully express my appreciation for those who walked this path with me and worked tirelessly to help make a difference in Madison County.
As I have always said, I am not a politician. I am simply someone who wanted to serve, create positive change, and fight for what I believe our community deserves. Unfortunately, too many citizens still choose not to vote, and when that happens, communities often miss the opportunity for real change led by people who genuinely want to serve rather than pursue politics.
Although this chapter has come to an end, my commitment to this community has not. I will continue serving as a law enforcement officer and continue fighting to make our community safer and stronger.
I encourage everyone to stay involved, continue voting, and continue working toward positive change. Together, we must keep fighting for better treatment options for mental illness, solutions for homelessness, recovery resources for drug abuse, and stronger protections for children and victims of crime.
My hope is that one day we can proudly say: “Our community is great because we stand together, support one another, and choose to be part of the solution.”
Signs will be picked up over the next few days.
