The Issues
Transparency and Education
It has become increasingly evident to me that most people in our community don't understand our local government. I have worked hard to open the lines of communication to help you better understand what is going on Downtown and how it will affect our community. My weekly newsletter keeps the community up to date on current events and informed of policy changes happening Downtown. I will continue to provide open communication and look forward to more educational opportunities.
Public Safety
We all deserve to live in a community that makes us feel safe and protected. That is the most important role of our local government. Our kids should be able to enjoy their childhood in safe parks and playgrounds. We all should feel comfortable walking alone in our neighborhoods and our aging population deserves to feel safe in their own homes. Serving on the Planning and Public Safety Committee has enabled me to learn about the needs of Police, Fire, Community Corrections, and E-911. I will continue to support our public safety budget and fight for the right resources enabling our first-responders to support our community and keep us all safe.
Housing and Development
Lexington is at a crossroads. We have built an amazing city where people flock to our schools, stay for our jobs, and choose to retire. Our population is continuing to grow and is projected to really boom over the next 10 years. We want to protect our signature horse farms but need to welcome everyone to our city. Deciding how we handle future growth is a complicated process that my real estate career will help me navigate. With change comes growing pains, but with the right people at the table we can protect our beloved city while we welcome the future of Lexington.
