These are the questions I hear most often when I’m out talking with residents of Onieda, Hobart, and Howard
Are you a Democrat or a Republican? A Conservative or a Liberal? Did you vote for Trump or Harris in the last election?
This is a non-partisan race. While I have my own national views, over the last two years I’ve worked with every member of the Brown County Board, regardless of party. I have not and will not accept donations from any political party. I focus on results: lowering taxes, improving services, increasing employee wages, and making government more transparent. I don’t vote red or blue, I vote for you, the residents of Brown County. I’ve focused on showing up, doing the work, and putting residents first, not politics, and that’s what this race is really about.
Why are you running for County Board?
I have a 7 and 4-year-old at home. I work with high school students every day, and my wife is a child protective services social worker. Between school and our dinner table conversations, I see what families and residents in Brown County are dealing with right now. I’ve lived here my entire life. This is home. I’m running because I care about where this county is headed — not just today, but 10 or 20 years from now when my kids are grown. I want Brown County to be practical, responsible, and something our kids and residents can be proud of.
What is your platform?
Mental Health & Human Services
I’m committed to expanding programs for youth, families, and adults facing mental health challenges. Everyone in our community should have access to effective, reliable support when they need it.
Taxes & Fiscal Responsibility
Over the past two years, the county tax rate has decreased while maintaining essential services. I focus on practical budgeting, long-term planning, and smart spending to protect taxpayers without sacrificing necessary programs.
Education & Future Generations
As a school counselor and parent, I see the challenges students and families face every day. I support programs and policies that give our children and residents opportunities to thrive and succeed.
Transparency & Accessibility
Residents deserve to see what their government is doing. I led the effort to broadcast County Board meetings and will continue pushing for clear communication and accessible information for everyone.
Why should you be re-elected?
I should be re-elected because I am not done working for Brown County. Over the last two years, I’ve shown up to every County Board and committee meeting, logged over 100 hours of service, and led initiatives like broadcasting our board meetings to make government more accessible and transparent.
I’ve worked to lower the county tax rate, improve services in Human Services, and make sure county employees are fairly compensated. Being a lifelong Brown County resident, a parent, and a school counselor gives me a real understanding of the issues families and residents face.
I’ve done the work, I know the challenges, and I’m ready to keep tackling them. I am not done working for you.
What is your biggest accomplishment on the board?
My biggest accomplishment on the Brown County Board is lowering the county tax rate while maintaining essential services, saving residents real money while keeping programs strong. I’m also proud of making our government more transparent and accessible through leading the Broadcast Feasibility Committee. Beyond policy, I’ve worked to support the people who make the county run, recognizing employees’ milestones and helping out wherever I can. Showing up, asking the tough questions, and focusing on practical solutions — that’s how I measure success, and why I continue working every day for the people of Brown County.
