Why I'm Running
Danville Has Too Much Potential to Settle for the Status Quo
We can grow, but growth takes a strategy. It takes a mayor who listens, brings people together, makes decisions based on facts and fairness, and follows through.
I am running for mayor because I have spent my career turning ideas into action: building businesses, securing resources, solving complex problems, and serving this community.
As mayor, I will bring that same practical, creative, and results-focused leadership to City Hall.
