The finish line is here. 🦬

Tuesday, August 25th is Election Day, and I’m asking Ward 7 to show up, make your voice heard, and vote for the young people.

Vote for the next generation of Lawton. Vote for new energy, new ideas, and a city that believes in what’s possible when we invest in our people.

And if we haven’t connected yet, it’s not too late. Send me a message. Ask me a question. Let’s talk about what matters to you and the future you want to see for Ward 7.

I’m looking forward to seeing you out there for this Thank You Tour of Service.

51% gets it done. No runoff. We can get there, Ward 7. Let’s finish strong and make every vote count. 🦬

Last night was a meaningful opportunity to stand alongside fellow Ward 7 candidates at the Lawton-Fort Sill Interdenominational Ministers Alliance and Cameron University Candidate Forum.

I’m proud of how I showed up—prepared, grounded, relatable, and ready to talk about the issues that matter to our community. Most importantly, I’m grateful for the opportunity to share my vision for A Well-Lived Lawton and listen to the questions and concerns of residents.

And now, the work continues.

This morning, I was right back in Ward 7 volunteering at the Lawton Food Bank. I was on refrigerator duty, breaking down boxes, replenishing shelves, and helping wherever needed. It really feels good to be of service.

🗳️ Election Day is Tuesday, August 25.

If you haven’t voted yet, make a plan. Early voting is available today, Friday, August 21, from 8:00 AM–6:00 PM and tomorrow, August 22, from 8:00 AM- 2:00 PM at the Comanche County Courthouse. You can check your polling and voter information through the OK Voter Portal: https://okvoterportal.okelections.gov/

I’d be honored to earn your vote.

Citizens Academy: Week 3!

This week, we stepped inside the Lawton Fire Department and got a closer look at the people and services that help keep our community safe around the clock.

From hearing from Fire Chief Jared Williams to touring Fire Station No. 1, it was another opportunity to listen, learn and better understand the work happening across Lawton every day. 🚒

There’s something special about stepping inside, hearing the stories and seeing our city from a different perspective. 🦬
