Transparency: Government is designed to work for you and your family. I will work to make Richland County Council a citizen-focused government and most importantly to hold County Council accountable to be there to only serve YOU. I will work to ensure transparency from the inside out. I pledge to ask the tough questions such as where are our transportation dollars being spent? If there is one thing Richland County citizens deserve, it is answers to the questions they have been asking. 

 

Public Education: It is my goal to hold the Richland County School boards accountable so every child has the means and opportunity to succeed inside the classroom. Not only do we need to advocate for students, but we need to advocate for our teachers, and attract more teachers while keeping the good ones we have here in Richland County. One of my top priorities will be to work to ensure more dollars are spent in the classroom. 

 

Efficiency: With the price of gas and groceries increasing each month, we have the responsibility to the people of Richland County to stretch every tax dollar as far as possible. I will work to streamline all levels of local government so we can eliminate wasteful spending and to ensure county services are working efficiently for you!

 

Public Safety & Crime: We have serious crime and gun violence that plagues Richland County. I will defend and support our police department and first responders. When it comes to our law enforcement, I will vote to ensure Sheriff Lott has the resources and personnel he needs to keep our families and communities safe.
