I've spent my whole life in Gainesville—not just raised here, but shaped here. Every lesson I've learned about service and community, I learned on these streets, in these churches, around kitchen tables with neighbors.

Now I'm running for City Commission because I believe our city deserves leadership that listens first and acts with purpose.

Why I'm Running

For too long, we've been told we have to choose: growth or preservation, business or community, progress or protection. I don't believe that. I believe when we truly hear each other, we find a better way forward—together.

I've spent decades doing the work—chairing the Affordable Housing Board, serving on Wild Spaces & Public Places, building my own business from the ground up. I know what it takes to protect our neighborhoods while creating opportunity for every dreamer.

Join us. Invest in Gainesville's future.

Hear the need. Spark the change. Serve the people.
