Smart Growth with Purpose
Growth is coming—that’s a fact we can’t ignore. But what kind of growth we allow, where it happens, and how it’s managed will determine the future of our neighborhoods, our schools, and our quality of life. Right now, too many decisions are being made without a unified vision or clear priorities. I believe growth should be thoughtful, transparent, and guided by a plan that reflects Caldwell’s unique identity—not someone else’s idea of what our city should be. I’ll push for clear standards, honest communication, and a “yes or no” approach based on facts, not politics.
Fiscal Responsibility from a Small Business Owner’s Perspective
As a small business owner, I know how to run lean, plan ahead, and make every dollar count. I appreciate the efforts our current council has made to reduce property taxes—and I believe we can do even more. I’m a firm believer in planning for the future with “rainy-day” funds and debt-free priorities. Every capital improvement should be based on need, not on whether there’s leftover money to burn. I will bring a practical, conservative mindset to budgeting that puts taxpayers first and ensures city government lives within its means—just like families and small businesses do every day.
Supporting the Police and First Responders
Safe neighborhoods don’t happen by accident—they’re the result of smart investments in public safety. I’ll champion strong training and support for our police to ensure they remain a trusted part of our growing community. I support fully staffing our new fire stations and giving first responders the resources they need. But with rapid growth comes budget pressure, which is why I believe in responsible, well-planned development—so we can afford to protect the people who protect us.
Leadership that Listens
When I started my business in Caldwell, city government was approachable. You could walk into a department, sit down with someone, and get clear direction. Today, the process is confusing, the policies are shifting, and customer service is lacking. It doesn’t have to be this way. I believe government should serve people—not the other way around. If elected, I’ll champion a customer-service approach where builders, business owners, and residents are heard, respected, and treated like partners. That starts with roundtable discussions, common-sense regulations, and a streamlined permitting process that saves time, money, and frustration.
Common-Sense Solutions to Traffic Challenges
We all feel it—traffic in Caldwell is frustrating. As someone in the construction industry, I understand that delays happen. But too often, road closures and detours seem to happen without coordination or common sense. We need a better system—one that looks at the big picture before one project blocks access to another. I’ve lived it. I’ve sat in the traffic. And I know we can do better.
A Voice for the People
Caldwell isn’t just where I live—it’s who I am. I’ve seen this city change, grow, and rise. Now I’m ready to help guide its future with experience, integrity, and a heart for service. If you believe in a Caldwell that grows with purpose, spends wisely, serves respectfully, and moves forward together—I’d be honored to earn your vote.
Let’s build Caldwell’s future—together.
