As a candidate for County Commissioner, I firmly believe that every resident of Tippecanoe County deserves the freedom to express themselves and gather peacefully.

I am dedicated to keeping our public spaces open and accessible for peaceful assembly, while ensuring that our county ordinances are fair and transparent never used to silence dissent.

I will support budget priorities for de-escalation and civil rights training, to ensure that civic participation is encouraged. Together we can build a stronger community, where "the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances" is respected. 

County government is the closest government to your daily life, yet it often operates behind closed doors with limited transparency. This creates a gap where decisions feel predetermined, communication is lacking, and many voices go unheard.

 

I believe in changing that by making county governance open, accountable, and truly participatory. Your concerns deserve to be heard, and decisions should be made with you, not to you.

 

Together, we can build a county government that works for everyone, ensuring our roads are safe, our neighborhoods thrive, and our communities remain vibrant and viable for generations to come.
