Get StartedAs an outdoor person, I know the value of sunlight and fresh air. Many residents, especially the youth in our community, don’t take full advantage of the great amenities Gary has to offer. Whether it’s kayaking at the Marquette lagoon, hiking in the Dunes National Park, or biking the Marquette Greenway Trail, I plan on creating and organizing big events that will get the community up, out, and enjoying our beautiful lakefront amenities! Together we can make Gary fun again!!! Learn more
Even though I am a strong proponent of law-and-order, as a Christian, I also understand grace and the power of Jesus Christ to change lives. I believe we can successfully reach first-time offenders before they become habitual offenders through a church/court partnership. Whether it is criminal court or drug court, I believe most of these young offenders are acting out of anger and frustration. Many of them are growing up in fatherless homes and are in of need direction. I believe if they commit a crime (depending on the severity of the crime) and you give them the option of either jail time or faithfully attending and serving at a local church that has a effective mentorship ministry, 90% of the time they will pick the church. Through this partnership, I believe we can cut the reoffending rate in half and while building strong men and women of God who will become productive members of society. Learn more
I believe in order to ensure public safety, you have to have a robust and well-equipped police force to maintain law and order. In order to have a large force, we need motivated recruits. In order to attract motivated recruits, we need to first build the morale of the police we already have. In order to build their moral, we must change the narrative. We change the narrative by teaching our children to respect authority and that policing is an honorable profession. We must emphasize the fact that the police are here to protect and serve and not out to target and gun them down. Police have reformed enough. Now, it is time for society to reform. It all starts at home. Learn more
When elected, I commit to not only making sure the residents are fully informed of upcoming development projects, but also what skills are required to make them competitive; ensuring those who meet the proper requirements and want to work are at the top of the hiring pool. Learn more
We know one of the biggest challenges that Gary faces is the resurfacing and repair of our roads and frequent stop light outages. I am committed to identifying a plan that will address and remedy these challenges with a sense of urgency, so residents can experience improved road conditions and less congestion and collisions caused by stop light outages.
