Together, we can create a Warrenton for everyone!

I am running for town council because our town is at a crossroads, and strong leadership is needed to guide Warrenton into its next chapters. With your support, I will address the following crucial issues our town is facing:

1. Affordability

   The town is consistently falling short in earning back the money it is spending. The only solution that the current council has proposed is to raise your taxes, year after year. This is not the only viable option, and alternatively should be viewed as a last resort. We can incentivize filling the empty storefronts in town, use that commercial tax revenue to ease the burden on taxpayers, while still maintaining the character of our small town.

   Multiple candidates for mayor are prioritizing affordability for our residents. I look forward to working with them, and my colleagues on the Council, on this ongoing issue so that living within the town limits is not viewed as an exclusive, financially out-of-reach prospect for our future generations.

2. Infrastructure

   To be frank, our infrastructure is old, crumbling, and has been put on the backburner for decades. Our Water Treatment Facility, for example, is being held together by a patchwork of machinery, some of which dates back to World War II. None of us wants to consider what it would be like to have those systems fail. However, if we do not address this urgency now, we run the risk of having a water crisis that will set us back significantly, in ways we cannot afford. We must repair what has been been in disrepair for far too long before continuing to prioritize new projects.

3. Transparency

   I am a prosecutor of domestic and sexual violence and human trafficking. Ethics and transparency are the most important parts of my job, and will continue to be as your town councilman. Our residents deserve to know exactly what goes into decisions made by your representatives, and I will make it my mission to ensure that every resident is well informed as to what goes into Council’s decisions.

4. A Data Center-Free Warrenton

   I support and will work towards maintaining a Warrenton without data centers. While the Amazon data center is being decided by the courts at the moment, should the matter ever come back to Council for a decision, I will fight to keep the data center out of town. I will also work to maintain the language of our zoning ordinances that prevents future data centers from being erected in town.
