Personal statement -- Iòòò½ÊÓƵ™m a veteran with combat-proven leadership experience and a business owner whoòòò½ÊÓƵ™s successfully led multi-million dollar companies through economic ups and downs. As a leader of the Marshall Board of Governors, Iòòò½ÊÓƵ™ve made difficult decisions that were instrumental in reversing a decades-long decline, paving the way for the university to grow again.
Now Iòòò½ÊÓƵ™m running for mayor to fix our hardest problems. Iòòò½ÊÓƵ™ll address our homelessness crisis by helping people get off the streets and get the recovery resources they need. Iòòò½ÊÓƵ™ll direct city resources to help bring an end to the deadly opioid crisis and start to heal our community. Iòòò½ÊÓƵ™ll fully fund the police and stand with law enforcement to keep our neighborhoods safe. Iòòò½ÊÓƵ™ll foster an environment that strengthens the economy and creates more good-paying jobs.
Huntington has serious problems that require serious people to solve them. It will require close collaboration with Marshall University and the healthcare community to holistically tackle our toughest challenges. It will take disciplined leadership to bring our community together, focus our resources, and avoid divisive distractions.
I love Huntington. I left to join the military and then came back home after serving our country because I wanted to live, work, and raise a family here. I believe in Huntingtonòòò½ÊÓƵ™s potential, and I believe in its people. Iòòò½ÊÓƵ™m ready to fight to make our city safer and more livable so future generations can thrive and proudly call it home.
