🏗️ Responsible Growth
Williamson County is growing fast, and we can't stop that. But we can make sure growth serves the people who already live here — not just developers. I'll fight for smart planning that protects our neighborhoods, our farmland, and the character that makes this county special.
- I've watched Franklin grow my whole life from behind the counter at my garage. Growth is good when it's managed right.
- New development should pay its own way — not burden existing taxpayers with infrastructure costs.
- We need more input from residents before projects get approved, not after the bulldozers arrive.
- Protect rural character on the south and west side of the district while managing density near Cool Springs responsibly.
🛣️ Roads & Infrastructure
Our roads can't keep up with our growth. It currently takes 8–10 years to get a road project from start to finish. That's unacceptable. As a business owner who drives these roads every day, I don't need a consultant's report to know they're failing — I see it with my own eyes.
- 8–10 years for road projects is a failure of urgency. We need to cut through bureaucracy.
- Support Senate Bill 1080 to return 50% of real estate transfer tax to counties for transportation.
- Peytonsville Road, Trinity Road, and the Hwy 96 corridor need immediate attention.
- Every new subdivision should have a traffic impact plan that the developer helps fund.
🎓 Schools & Education
Families moved to Williamson County for the schools. We must fully fund our school system and make sure every child has access to a world-class education. That means adequate facilities, competitive teacher pay, and parents — not politicians or bureaucrats — having the strongest voice in their children's education.
- Our schools are why families choose Williamson County. Underfunding them undermines our biggest asset.
- Teachers need competitive pay to stay in our district — we're competing with Nashville and surrounding counties.
- New schools need to keep pace with new subdivisions. Don't approve housing without a school capacity plan.
- Parents should have the loudest voice in what happens in their children's schools.
💰 Taxes & Fiscal Responsibility
Williamson County has over $1 billion in debt. I run a small business — I know what it means to balance a budget and make every dollar count. County government should operate with the same discipline. Keep taxes low, cut waste, and make growth pay for itself.
- I've balanced a business budget for decades. Government should have the same accountability.
- $1 billion in county debt is a real number that affects every taxpayer. We need a plan to manage it down.
- Before raising taxes, exhaust every option to cut waste and improve efficiency.
- New development should carry its fair share of infrastructure and service costs through impact fees.
🛡️ Public Safety
A safe community is a thriving community. I fully support our law enforcement, fire departments, and first responders. As the county grows, we need to make sure public safety resources grow with it.
- Back the badge — our sheriff's department and police need the resources to keep up with growth.
- Response times matter. As the county adds subdivisions, we need proportional public safety staffing.
- Support community policing and strong relationships between officers and neighborhoods.
- Fund fire and EMS infrastructure in growing areas before emergencies happen, not after.
