My Key Issues
Government Transparency
The citizens of Midwest City deserve to know the decisions being made on their behalf. These decisions need to be made in the open, not behind closed doors. Additionally, citizens from all works of life need to be included on boards and commissions.
Quality of Life
Our city codes should be user-friendly for both citizens and business owners. I will continue to promote updating the codes and education of the public.
Neighborhood Revitalization
The whole of Midwest City deserves attention. New business growth should not be isolated to one portion of the city. Nor should other parts of the city be left to decline with little attention from City Hall.
