I am the business candidate that owns a successful construction company. I understand budgets for large projects and do not have the luxury that government has to spend outside of their means.
Through my Real Estate and Home building careers, I have worked with families young and old. I have witnessed inflation and home prices escalate along with soaring interest rates pushing new home buyers out of the market, making the American Dream of homeownership dwindle for young families.

LIST OF ISSUES
It's ALL About the Taxes!
PROPERTY TAX RELIEF
Skyrocketing Property Taxes
-
Property taxes are growing faster than incomes, making it harder for families to stay in their homes.
-
People shouldn’t have to worry about losing their homes because of out-of-control property taxes.
-
Many seniors live on fixed incomes, and rising property taxes are forcing them out of homes they’ve spent their entire lives paying off. We must protect them.
"I'll work hard to make sure families can keep their homes and not be taxed out of our county. We need to prioritize spending on essential services without raising property taxes."
