My Approach:

Listen, Learn, Lead

I'm not just asking for your vote; I'm asking for your partnership. Together, we can build a stronger, more vibrant, and more inclusive Hays.

Listen

I believe that true understanding begins with actively listening. I will prioritize hearing directly from residents, businesses, and community organizations to fully grasp your concerns, ideas, and aspirations for Hays. Your voice will be the foundation of my work.

learn

Armed with what I hear, I am committed to learning. This means diving into data, researching innovative solutions from other communities, consulting with experts, and thoroughly understanding the nuances of complex issues. I will always seek knowledge to make informed, effective decisions.

lead

With a foundation of listening and learning, I am prepared to lead. This involves fostering collaborative dialogue, building consensus, and taking decisive action on the City Commission to advise on solutions that truly benefit our community. I will lead with transparency, accountability, and a focus on Hays' long-term prosperity.
