Dear Friends,

In 2018, the residents of Spartanburg City Council District 4 bestowed their trust in me to serve as their representative on City Council. It is a responsibility I take very seriously to be a good steward of that trust. We have accomplished a lot in a short time, but there is much more work to be done, and that is why I am running for re-election on November 2.

Despite the challenges of the past few years, there has never been a more exciting time to live in the City of Spartanburg. We have worked together as a community to rise to the occasion and our city is stronger than ever. Going forward, we must continue to focus on planning for the future, remain fiscally responsible, ensure that we have safe and vibrant neighborhoods, improve the health and wellness outcomes of those in our city who have been left behind, and work with all stakeholders to strengthen and diversify our economy in so that Spartanburg is a residence of choice for individuals, families, and businesses. I cannot wait to see what Spartanburg looks like in the coming years.

In addition to focusing on strategic initiatives for the future, I will also remain committed to the work of providing the residents of the City of Spartanburg with the highest caliber of services possible. I believe that government has no more important role than protecting our citizens with world-class police and fire services, keeping our roads safe and well maintained, providing high caliber parks and recreation facilities, and ensuring a public transportation system that meets the needs of its customers.

If re-elected I will do my best to serve you and your family well, always trying to do what is right for the community we all love and call home.

As the campaign begins in the days and weeks ahead, I would value your support.

Most importantly, I ask for your vote on Election Day!
