County Commissioner

Because Fayette County has a merged city-county government, the role of County Commissioner has been greatly reduced in comparison to many other counties in Kentucky. Our County Commissioners meet three times per year with the County Judge/Executive, as part of the county’s Fiscal Court, to set ad valorem tax rates and advise the Department of Highways concerning road maintenance. This is a partisan race, so you will see political parties on your ballot.

There are three Commissioner Districts, and they are the same as your Magistrate District, view the map here.

Healthcare (Inpatient Pharmacy Technician) and Real Estate Investment
I am currently in elected office and have been planning this specific run for over 3 years. I have faced the public at the ballot box before, and I want to believe that my service to Fayette County as one of their elected Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisors is evidence of the seriousness of my run to be their District 1 County Commissioner.
The future of Ad Valorem taxes as they relate to Fayette County Public Schools and the state of the highways going through Fayette County
To start, restart, or improve the office's relationship with the KMCA (Kentucky Magistrates and Commissioners Association), to start, restart, or improve the office's relationship with the KACo (Kentucky Association of Counties), and to increase participation/attendance by the public at the meetings of Fayette County's Fiscal Court.
I am a very easy person to find. I can be reached by email and on multiple social media accounts, and the public will have a constant invitation to contact me.

Healthcare as a pharmacy technician both in retail and hospital for 20 years.
Being a resident of Fayette county for going on 15 years, I’m aware of what my fellow residents are looking for in a candidate. I also believe I have their best interests at heart.
Growth management and the urban service Boundary, affordable housing and development, community services and the quality of life.
Affordable housing affects both our growth and the quality of life here in Fayette county, I hope to be an advocate for our lower income and houseless community.
