RepublicanStatement:
I am running for the State House in LD9 because our district needs practical, results-driven leadership. Our community deserves representatives who can work outside the political extremes and focus on getting things done. As a small business owner, I understand the importance of accountability and delivering real results. I also serve as the volunteer President of Dobson Ranch. I ran for the HOA board not because I am a fan of HOAs but because there were serious issues that needed to be fixed, especially financially. In 2024, our board delivered a $400,000+ surplus, the first strong financial turnaround in years. These experiences reflect how I lead, with a focus on accountability, sound decision-making, and measurable outcomes. I will work with anyone willing to put results ahead of political posturing and do what is right for our community. It would be an honor to bring my spirit of problem-solving as your State Representative and to promote the needs and priorities of my home district.
