Over $200,000 in grant funding awarded so far. - Environmental Leadership
Launched Climate Smart and other sustainability programs.

🗳️ Why I’m Running
While maintaining low taxes is important, Tuxedo needs more than status quo. We need smart planning, targeted investment, and long-term vision.
I bring the professional experience to:

If you believe in status quo, I’m not your candidate.
But if you believe Tuxedo deserves bold ideas, strategic growth, and real action—I would be honored to earn your vote.
