Leadership that Delivers

Solving problems. Expanding opportunity. Building Harrisonburg’s future.
​

Over the past four years, we’ve made meaningful progress together—from housing and schools to transportation, public safety, and economic opportunity.

​​​​

I’m running for re-election because there’s more work to do, and I believe Harrisonburg’s best years are still ahead.

​​​​​

​​

WHAT WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED

Housing
Expanding housing choices and affordability across income levels.

Schools

Increasing local support for public schools by nearly 40% in three years.

​​

Economy​

Helping Harrisonburg become Virginia’s leader in job growth while supporting entrepreneurs and small businesses.

​​​

Infrastructure​

Bringing millions in outside funding to improve transportation, public safety, and downtown.

A record built without increasing the real estate tax rate for the past two years.​

 

​

HOW I LEAD

Listen First

The best decisions begin by understanding the problem—not assuming the answer.
 

Build Partnerships

Real progress happens when residents, businesses, nonprofits, schools, and government work together.
 

Stay Focused on Results

Leadership isn’t measured by speeches. It’s measured by whether life gets better for the people who call Harrisonburg home.

​

 

WHY THIS MATTERS

Harrisonburg is a city where people build lives.

Some families have been here for generations. Others arrived more recently — from another state, another country, or another chapter of their lives.
 

What they share is the hope that hard work, opportunity, and community can build a better future.
 

I believe local government should help make that future possible — not by choosing winners and losers, but by creating the conditions where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.
 

That's the Harrisonburg I'm committed to building.
