2026 priorities (per the campaign site)
- Addressing rising housing costs, taxes, and everyday expenses that make it harder for young adults and working families to build their lives in the county
- Directing more county infrastructure investment to District 4, which he says pays the same county taxes as other districts but is often overlooked for road and infrastructure work
- Keeping government out of people's private lives while ensuring dignity and equal opportunity for everyone
