Have you run for and/or held elected office before? list previous offices sought and/or held): No.
Since 2010, Waxhaw has doubled in population. How do you plan to manage this growth while also ensuring the town remains one of the most desirable places to live in Union County?
My main concern. We desperately need to control over development without improving infrastructure and Roadways to accommodate the influx of our existing population.
Amid rapid growth, what are your plans to improve road infrastructure around the town’s congested corridors?
New traffic devices and widening of the roads in and out of Waxhaw
Waxhaw is primarily comprised of single-family homes within masterplanned communities. What is your stance on mixed-use developments or higher density housing in the town?
We need to limit the use of our homes as rental havens without moderation and stop developers from squandering land for development under the table.
How will you collaborate with your fellow council members to make decisions and create policy in the best interest of Waxhaw residents?
Meetings
What separates you from your opponents and makes you the best choice on November’s ballot?
I want Waxhaw to be a place to live and work without being, overcrowded also I want our growing community to thrive and provide a way for our youth to enjoy parks and recreation to keep them out of trouble.
