I honestly don’t have the words.

Thank you, Henderson.

To have the opportunity to continue this campaign into November, as the youngest candidate ever to run for office in our city, is something I do not take lightly.

I’m incredibly grateful for every person who believed in this vision, showed up, and made their voice heard.

Tonight is not the end. It’s the beginning.

Let’s keep building a Henderson for Everyone. 💚

I am absolutely blown away.

Seeing these photos come in all day from people across Henderson, from every walk of life, has been incredibly humbling.

This campaign has always been about building a Henderson for Everyone, and today has been a beautiful reminder of what that really looks like.

Thank you to every single person who has shown up, voted, sent a photo, shared a post, or encouraged a friend to do the same.

If you haven’t voted yet, polls are open until 6 PM (and if you’re in line by 6, stay in line!).

Let’s finish strong. 💚🗳️

I’m 21 years old. I’m the youngest person ever to run for office in Henderson.

And I’m incredibly proud of that.

Not because of the number, but because of what I believe it represents: a new generation stepping up, fresh perspective, and a deep commitment in the future of this community.

Henderson is my home, yes, but it is also my future. The choices we make today, the people we elect, will define how we grow over the next 10, 20, 30 years.

This campaign has always been about building a Henderson for Everyone, where every person has a voice, every neighborhood matters, and local government works for the people it serves.

On Tuesday, I’d be honored to earn your vote for Henderson City Commission.

Hey y’all! I have an ask.

We’re in the final stretch of the primary election, and I want to reach even more voters before polls close on Tuesday, but I can’t do it alone.

I’m asking you to help me with a simple digital GOTV push: take the message below (pasted in the comments), copy it, and send it to 5 Henderson voters you know.

Friends. Family. Neighbors. People from church. Former coworkers. That quick text from someone they know could be the reminder that gets them to the polls.

Once you’ve sent it, comment below or DM the page and let me know how many people you reached so we can keep the momentum going.

Let’s finish strong and build a Henderson for Everyone. 🗳️💚

Local government works best when more people can participate in it.

Right now, Henderson City Commission meetings are held at 3:00 PM, when many working residents, parents, and caregivers simply can’t attend (myself included). Even with it being live-streamed, engagement in the meetings is still difficult.

I support, and will champion, moving City Commission meetings to the evening so more people have the opportunity to show up, speak, and stay engaged in their local government.

If we want a government that works for everyone, more people need a seat at the table.

Voting Information:
🗳 Early voting (no excuse required): May 14–16
🗳 Primary Election Day: May 19

🗳️ VOTING INFORMATION 🗳️

We are officially ONE WEEK away from the May 19 Primary Election.

Did you know you can vote as early as this Thursday?

I’m sharing both a sample ballot and voting information so you can make a plan to cast your vote, whether that’s early, absentee (if eligible), or on Election Day.

A few quick reminders:
1. City Commission is a nonpartisan race
2. You may vote for up to FOUR candidates
3. Early voting begins Thursday, May 14
4. Election Day is Tuesday, May 19

Local elections shape the future of our neighborhoods, our infrastructure, our public safety, and the direction of our city.

No matter who you support, please make a plan to vote. And if I’ve earned one of your four votes for Henderson City Commission, I would be incredibly grateful for your support.

A lot of campaigns stay broad or present no actual plans/stances/policy proposals, so I want to be direct about where I stand and what I would advocate for as one vote on the Henderson City Commission. As always, if you have any questions, please reach out!

Government Transparency & Accessibility
• Advocate for city commission meetings to be moved to 5:30pm to allow more working people to attend and be engaged.
• Push for increased public communication on major city projects and decisions.
• Support stronger public engagement before major votes or developments.
• Establish a city-wide engagement calendar/dashboard to keep residents updated on important city-happenings.
• I will personally commit to quarterly town halls around Henderson, and a monthly newsletter that clearly explains votes, and important updates.

Infrastructure & Neighborhood Investment
• Advocate for fiscally responsible long-term infrastructure planning
• Support increased (where applicable) investment in roads, sidewalks, drainage, lighting, and neighborhood quality of life
• Push for equitable investments across Henderson, not just high-growth areas, or one neighborhood

Youth Retention & Civic Engagement
• Propose a Commission on Youth Success focused on youth retention, workforce pathways, recreation, civic engagement, and quality of life
• Advocate for stronger connections between local government, schools, employers, and young adults
• Advocate for more leadership and volunteer opportunities for young people in Henderson

Economic & Workforce Development
• Support collaboration between the city, local employers, schools, and workforce organizations
• Focus on retaining and attracting young workers and families
• Support practical economic growth that strengthens Henderson long-term
• Continue to support Chamber, Henderson Economic Development, and Tourism initiatives to drive population growth, industry expansion, and attraction to retailers and hotels

Quality of Life
• Support parks, recreation, downtown activity, and community spaces that make people want to stay in Henderson
• Advocate for policies that strengthen public trust, safety, and community connection
• Focus on building a city where families, businesses, retirees, and young people can all see a future

What is my Leadership Style?
• Communicate directly and openly with the public
• Be accessible and engaged in the community
• Work collaboratively, even when there are disagreements
• Focus on practical solutions over political theater
• I don't have all the answers- I never will, but I do know how to ask the right questions and find the people who do.

City commissioners are one part of a five-member board. No single commissioner can unilaterally change policy. My goal is to be a strong advocate for these priorities, ask good questions, bring people into the conversation, and help move Henderson forward in a thoughtful and practical way.
