I am proud to announce my candidacy for the Jackson County Legislature as a Republican.

 

Over the past years, I’ve been honored to serve this community as a Democrat. During that time, I worked to improve public safety, protect taxpayers, and make our county government more transparent and accountable. But as the challenges facing Jackson County have grown, it’s become clear to me that the solutions I believe in are better reflected in Republican principles: responsible spending, safer neighborhoods, and a government that respects both taxpayers and the rule of law.

 

My decision to change parties was not made lightly. I know it will raise questions, and that’s fair. The truth is, my values—supporting working families, defending individual freedoms, prioritizing public safety, and insisting that government live within its means—have stayed the same. It’s our political landscape that has shifted. I refuse to choose party loyalty over doing what I believe is right for the people I represent.

 

As a Republican candidate for the Jackson County Legislature, I will focus on three core priorities:

 

• Lowering the burden on taxpayers by demanding real accountability for how every dollar is spent and focusing on tax assessments.

​

• Making our neighborhoods safer by supporting law enforcement and proven crime-reduction strategies.

 

• Restoring trust in county government through transparency, ethics, and common-sense reform such as enacting term limits and electing a tax assessor.

 

To lifelong Republicans, I ask you to judge me by my record of service, my willingness to listen, and my commitment to these shared principles. To Democrats and independents who have supported me before, I want you to know: I am still fighting for you—your safety, your pocketbook, and your quality of life. My party label has changed; my dedication to this community has not.

 

I’m running for Jackson County Legislature to make our county safer, stronger, and more accountable—because you deserve nothing less. I’m asking for your support, your ideas, and your vote.
