Platform
Candidate Platforms are pulled directly from their campaign websites.
Public Safety:
Public Safety is the cornerstone for any thriving community. I will continue to advocate for investing in a secure and safe Cobb. These investment are in people, technology, and security infrastructure.
Housing:
A priority must be placed on attainable housing for our growing and diverse workforce as well as the student housing crisis emerging at Kennesaw State University.
Economic and Workforce Development:
I will ensure the delivery of services from every aspect of county government. I am committed to keeping Cobb the best place to do business, but also the best place for workers to raise a family.
Environmental Justice:
I know firsthand that environmental justice is crucial to the health and well being of our families, both now and long-term. Between the fight against Sterigenics’ air pollution in my community to advocating for national environmental policy, I will always fight for a clean, safe planet.
Affordability and Mobility:
We must continue and accelerate our focus on housing affordability and mobility. This is not just a quality of life issue but also a workforce issue. We want to make sure our public's service, public safety, Healthcare, and education workforce can live in the communities they support; and be able to navigate the Metro Atlanta region with a wide array of connectivity option.
