As the county primaries have concluded, I am eager to take the next step and win the general election in August. I would appreciate your support and vote.

If you reside in District 6 and would like a yard sign, please let me know.

My campaign beliefs include preserving rural land, low property taxes and not raising property taxes, ensuring accountability in the county budget management, supporting a strong EMS department including police, firefighters, and ambulance service, collaborating with the school board to improve our education system, and working with road commissioners to keep our county's roads the best.

As a strong advocate for agriculture and agricultural education, I believe maintaining farm land is vital to our community's prosperity and the prosperity of this country. To give an example; Farming, forestry, fishing, and hunting contribute roughly $222 billion to the United States GDP. In Franklin County alone, direct agricultural production accounts for about 8% of the county's total Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Without open land this isn’t possible.

Additionally, I strongly support utilizing the Southern Middle Tennessee Pavilion on Joyce Lane to host more events and stimulate community engagement and to see that proper budget funds are allocated to maintain maintenance of the building and property.

If elected, I will work diligently with fellow commissioners to make Franklin County an ideal place to live, raise a family, and build a future to keep our youth here to invite better higher paying jobs to come here. I will listen to and represent the interests of my constituents, ensuring every voice is heard. With 10 years of public service experience, including roles in customer service, entrepreneurship, and animal health, and a farming background myself, I am well-equipped to serve as your commissioner. I am a devoted Christian, preacher, and worship leader at my church , and the main phrase 'In God We Trust' that our country is built on resonates deeply with me.

Again, I humbly request your vote in August to represent District 6 as your commissioner. Please let me know if you would like a yard sign.
