PRIORITIES

I am committed to providing trusted leadership, protecting the people who call Johnson City home, and preparing our city for tomorrow. During my years of working with various leaders in Johnson City, I am convinced that in order achieve greater progress/success, we must serve and value the collective interests of every member of our community. It is important that we focus on the common goals and shared values that benefit our citizens. 

 

  • Provide Trusted Leadership
    • Strong communities begin with trustworthy leadership. City government should be transparent, fiscally responsible, accessible, and accountable to the people it serves.

    • Transparency and accountability

    • Fiscal responsibility

    • Accessible leadership

    • Public engagement and collaboration

    • Responsible decision-making

 

  • Protect Our Residents
    • As Johnson City grows, we must ensure the people who built this community can continue to afford to live here and have quality of life. Growth should create opportunity, not displacement.

    • Affordable, attainable, and workforce housing 

    • Protect longtime residents from being priced out

    • Responsible tax policies

    • Support children, youth, working families, seniors, veterans, and young professionals

    • Keep Johnson City affordable for future generations

 

  • Prepare Our Future
    • Growth is a sign of success but, success requires preparation. Johnson City must plan wisely so infrastructure, public safety, and community services keep pace with growth.

    • Responsible development

    • Infrastructure first

    • Long-term planning

    • Protect neighborhoods

    • Encourage quality investment

    • Improve traffic flow

    • Invest in roads, sidewalks, water, sewer, schools, police, fire, EMS, parks, and recreation
