I’ll ensure growth pays for itself through developer-funded infrastructure, while prioritizing road and utility upgrades that meet today’s needs and prepare us for tomorrow. Guided by Star’s Comprehensive Plan, future Land Use Map, and Development Code, I’ll work to align city planning with the community’s vision—closing the gap between what residents want and what current plans reflect. By balancing residential, commercial, and natural spaces, we can protect our small-town character and prevent overdevelopment.

As Star continues to grow, we must take proactive steps to ensure our public safety services keep pace. I’ll work to secure the resources, staffing, and infrastructure our first responders need to protect our community. By planning ahead and addressing challenges before they become crises, we can preserve the quality of life that makes Star such a great place to call home.

I commit to transparent votes, clear communication, and accessible leadership. I'll ask tough questions, insist on transparency in budgets and projects, and foster integrity and unity in decision-making processes. The community deserves to know how their tax dollars are spent.

I’ll make the city’s budget process open and easy to understand-ensuring residents know exactly how their tax dollars are being used. I’ll scrutinize every line item, push for clear explanations of any proposed tax increases, and demand that spending reflects our community’s priorities. Smart, responsible budgeting isn’t just good governance-it’s one of the most important ways we protect public trust and keep Star on solid financial footing.

I’ll champion projects that preserve Star’s small-town charm while opening the door to new opportunities for our future. By involving residents early, we can shape thoughtful development that strengthens our schools, creates local jobs, and enhances quality of life. Together, we can design a vibrant city center and gathering spaces that honor our roots while building something even better for generations to come.
