My Vision for Monroe: Service with Purpose

Monroe is more than just a place on the map. Monroe has a long history as a thriving, resilient community built on hard work, shared values, and a commitment to the future. As a 40-year resident and now, a candidate for Mayor, I believe our city government must be responsive, responsible, and relentlessly focused on creating opportunity for every resident. That is why my campaign is rooted in six key priorities that will guide Monroe into the future.

As your candidate for Mayor, I believe our future must be shaped by bold leadership, thoughtful collaboration, and a shared commitment to building a community where every resident feels safe, has opportunity, and participates in a thriving economy.

My vision for Monroe is clear: a city that honors its heritage while embracing innovation. A city where public safety is never compromised, economic opportunity is within reach for all, and government works transparently and efficiently for the people it serves.

Together, we will:

  • Enhance Public Safety by supporting our police, fire, and first responders ensuring they have the tools, resources, and trust to protect our neighborhoods with excellence.
  • Drive Economic Development by investing in strategic assets like our airport and infrastructure, revitalizing our downtown, and strengthening our economic development efforts to attract high-tech industries that create high-demand, well-paying jobs and expand our commercial tax base.
  • Champion Workforce Readiness by effectively leveraging the resources of our education partners, workforce organizations, and business to provide enhanced training programs for Monroe residents to prepare them for the jobs of the future.  
  • Foster Entrepreneurship and Innovation by supporting local businesses, streamlining city processes, and building partnerships that position Monroe as a hub for creativity and commerce.
  • Ensure Government Accountability through proven transparent leadership, responsible fiscal management, and common-sense governance that puts residents first.
  • Promote Collaborative Governance by cultivating a spirit of teamwork among elected officials, community stakeholders, and policymakers to serve Monroe residents more effectively.

This campaign isn’t about one person running for office, it’s about a community coming together with a common purpose. Monroe deserves a mayor who listens, leads with integrity, and is laser-focused on Monroe.  With 40 years of experience in community service and engagement in Monroe, I’m ready to serve as your mayor. Together, we will build a bright future for our city.
