WHY I'M RUNNING FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER

I am running for County Commissioner because government should be led by people with integrity, curiosity and grit to get things done. I am a hardworking parent who is frustrated by stagnant growth, poor services, and crumbling infrastructure. I am not running for a paycheck or a title – I'm running to put my professional experience to work for you.

Trumbull County is a place where people work hard, support their neighbors, and care deeply about their community.

The county’s future depends on leadership that is hardworking, responsible, and committed to serving the public with integrity.

I’m running because steady, professional leadership matters right now. Healthy debate and independent thinking lead to better decisions. A commissioner must work with citizens, community leaders, and elected officials. A commissioner must evaluate problems, consider solutions and bring people together. We have so much talent in our county. We need a commissioner who can bring us all together.

I believe county leadership should prioritize:

  • Protect taxpayer resources

  • maintain essential infrastructure

  • Strengthen the local economy

  • Improve quality of life across the county

PRIORITIES FOR TRUMBULL COUNTY

Trumbull County Rocks. I’ll prove it to you every day.

Responsible Financial Leadership and Transparency

Taxpayer dollars must be managed with uncompromising scrutiny and common sense. Strong financial oversight, balanced budgets, and disciplined spending are essential to maintaining effective county services and fostering growth.

Residents deserve clear communication and transparency from their government.

Local leaders should operate with openness and integrity so residents understand how decisions are made and how public resources are used.

Economic Growth and Opportunity

I will empower local businesses, from our farms to our factories, with a toolbox that includes incentives, infrastructure and a highly trained workforce.

We need to promote Trumbull County as if our future depends on it - because it does. Trumbull County has tremendous potential. I support policies that accelerate investment, strengthen small businesses, attract new employers, and expand workforce opportunities for local residents.

Leading responsible economic growth requires thoughtful planning, strong partnerships, and a commitment to creating an environment where businesses and families can succeed.

Infrastructure and Community Investment

I support responsible investments that maintain and strengthen infrastructure while planning for the county’s long-term needs. Smart infrastructure enables economic growth while improving everyday life for residents across the county.

From roads and utilities to job training – we must invest in the foundation of our community.

We’re sending tax dollars to Columbus and Washington: I will fight to bring that money back home to work for us.

Supporting Families, Youth, and Seniors

Strong communities foster independence, dignity, and opportunity for all residents.

A thriving community supports residents at every stage of life.

County leadership should prioritize programs and partnerships that help families succeed, create opportunities for young people, and ensure seniors have access to important resources and services.

COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP

Serving the Community Before Running for Office

I have spent years working with organizations that strengthen communities across Trumbull County.

I served on the Liberty Township Zoning Board, Liberty Local School Fiscal Oversight Commission, and Lake Milton Utilities Commission. I have direct experience with issues such as:

responsible planning and development

fiscal oversight and budgeting

Risk Management

local governance

I have also supported nonprofit organizations dedicated to strengthening the region, including the Junior League of the Mahoning Valley, the Sisters of the Humility of Mary Charitable Trust Board, Diocese of Youngstown and Logan Swim and Tennis Club, Inc.

These experiences reflect my belief that strong communities are built through service, collaboration, and leadership.

LISTENING TO TRUMBULL COUNTY

Leadership Begins with Listening

The best solutions come from listening to the people who live and work in the community.

Throughout the campaign, I will be meeting with residents, business owners, community leaders, and organizations across Trumbull County to hear their ideas, concerns, and priorities.

These conversations will help guide the priorities I bring to county government.
