No New Taxes. No New Assessments. Real Accountability.

My commitment to the people of Montgomery County is simple and non-negotiable:
no new taxes and no new assessments on county residents.

Families are already stretched. Seniors are on fixed incomes. Small businesses are navigating rising costs, insurance increases, and economic uncertainty. County government should not add to that burden.

As County Commissioner, I will oppose any proposal that raises taxes or creates new assessments on property owners, renters, or businesses. Instead, I will focus on doing better with the resources we already have.

• No new property taxes or special assessments pushed onto homeowners and renters.
• No hidden tax increases through fees, levies, or back-door assessments.
• No asking taxpayers to pay more before government proves it is spending wisely.

Fiscal responsibility does not mean cutting essential services, it means running government efficiently and transparently.

My approach includes:

• Auditing county spending to eliminate waste, duplication, and inefficiency.
• Prioritizing core services like public safety, infrastructure, and human services before expanding bureaucracy.
• Leveraging state and federal grants and public-private partnerships to fund projects without raising local taxes.
• Requiring voter approval before any future tax proposal is even considered.

Before county government ever asks residents for another dollar, it must first answer hard questions:

• Are current funds being used effectively?
• Are outcomes improving for residents?
• Are projects delivered on time and on budget?

If the answer is no, the solution is better leadership, not higher taxes.

This platform is about respect; respect for working families, retirees, and taxpayers who expect county government to live within its means just like they do.

I believe Montgomery County can grow, serve its residents, and plan for the future without raising taxes. With disciplined budgeting, transparent leadership, and smart economic development, we can move forward responsibly, together.

My vision for Montgomery County starts where real life happens — in our neighborhoods.

Strong neighborhoods are the foundation of a strong county. When streets are safe, homes are maintained, families are supported, and residents feel heard, the entire county benefits. As County Commissioner, my priority is to ensure every neighborhood; urban, suburban, and rural, has the support, resources, and respect it deserves.

Strong neighborhoods are:

• Safe — with effective public safety strategies, lighting, and prevention programs.
• Stable — with access to quality housing, code enforcement that protects residents without punishing them, and support for seniors and homeowners.
• Connected — with sidewalks, transportation access, and community spaces that bring people together.
• Supported — with youth programs, mental health resources, and services that strengthen families.
• Respected — where residents have a voice in county decisions that affect their daily lives.

County government must be present in neighborhoods, not distant or reactive. I will:

• Invest in neighborhood-level infrastructure, including roads, drainage, and public spaces.
• Support blight removal and property reinvestment while protecting longtime residents from displacement.
• Partner with community organizations, faith-based groups, and nonprofits that already do trusted work on the ground.
• Ensure county services are equitable, accessible, and responsive across all parts of the county.

Economic growth should lift neighborhoods, not bypass them. I believe in development that:

• Creates good local jobs for county residents.
• Revitalizes vacant and underused properties.
• Strengthens local businesses and corridors.
• Preserves the character and identity of our communities.

Whether you live in the heart of Dayton or in our surrounding townships, you deserve a county government that works for you. Strong neighborhoods are not a talking point, they are a responsibility.

My commitment is simple:
build safe, stable, connected neighborhoods and in doing so, build a stronger Montgomery County for everyone.
