🏛️ My Platform

I’m running to serve Perry Township with integrity, transparency, and a commitment to responsible leadership. My platform is built around the core values our community cares about most—economic growth, accountability, green space, infrastructure, and public trust.

📣 Communication & Transparency

Effective leadership starts with open and honest communication.

I will:

Improve communication between township leadership, residents, and local businesses

Strengthen collaboration with county, state, and regional officials

Foster transparency in decision-making and public affairs

🌱 Smart Development & Community Revitalization

We must revitalize Perry Township in a way that benefits everyone—without losing what makes our community special.

I support:

Strategic development to boost our tax base and local economy

A township-wide approach to revitalization, not just focusing on select areas

Preservation of essential green space as we grow

💰 Fiscal Responsibility

Your tax dollars deserve respect.

I will:

Maximize available grant opportunities to fund key services and improvements

Maintain a balanced, transparent budget

Pursue shared service agreements with regional agencies to cut costs and ease the burden on taxpayers

🚫 Ethical Healthcare Practices

Two current officials receive healthcare benefits from Perry Township despite full-time employment elsewhere.

I will:

Decline healthcare benefits paid for by taxpayers

Set a standard for ethical leadership and financial responsibility

🌳 Parks & Recreation

Our parks are vital for quality of life, but Perry Township has no dedicated Park Levy. All park funding comes from the General Fund.

I will:

Engage the community in shaping a stronger, more inclusive park system

Explore alternative funding and partnerships to maintain and expand recreational spaces

Prioritize safe, accessible green spaces for all residents
