Why did you decide to run for this office?
I am running for City Commissioner because I believe deeply in Henderson and the people who make it a strong, caring community. I am not a career politician, but a husband, father, and community member who understands the value of service, responsibility, and steady leadership. With more than twenty years of experience building teams, growing businesses, and leading through change, I bring practical leadership focused on integrity, collaboration, and results. Through my service on the Henderson Ethics Board, the Inner City Improvement Plan economic development committee, and as a graduate of the Henderson Leadership Initiative, I have worked to promote transparency, responsible growth, and trust in local government. I am running to be a present, accessible leader who listens, follows through, and puts people first—so Henderson continues to be a place where families thrive, small businesses succeed, and the future is built with everyone in mind.

I bring more than twenty years of real-world leadership experience building teams, managing resources, and leading through change, along with a proven record of service on the Henderson Ethics Board and as Chair of the Inner City Improvement Plan economic development committee. I am not motivated by politics, but by responsibility to listen, to act with integrity, and to put people first. I will be a present, accessible, and accountable leader who makes thoughtful decisions with the long-term good of Henderson at heart and works every day to build a city defined by trust, opportunity, and pride.
What are your top priorities for the next term, if elected?
In my first year as City Commissioner, my priority will be to build trust through listening, transparency, and collaboration while making thoughtful, ethical decisions that reflect the needs of our community. I will focus on responsible growth that supports small businesses, strengthens neighborhoods, and protects Henderson’s character, while ensuring city resources are managed carefully and with accountability. Public safety, quality of life, and long-term planning will guide my work as I partner with residents, city staff, and community leaders to lay a strong foundation for a safe, thriving, and opportunity-filled future for Henderson.
