Access to quality healthcare is essential to a thriving community. I believe every person in Ashland deserves access to the care and resources they need to live a healthy life, regardless of age, income, or circumstance. While many healthcare decisions extend beyond City Hall, local leadership can advocate for our community, strengthen partnerships with healthcare and service providers, and support programs that improve health and well-being. Together, we can help make Ashland a community where everyone has the opportunity to live well.

Ashland’s local businesses are the heart of our economy and an essential part of what makes our city unique. I want to make it easier for entrepreneurs and small businesses to start, grow, and succeed while working to attract new opportunities that create good-paying, sustainable jobs. By supporting our existing businesses, encouraging responsible economic development, and investing in a diverse local economy, we can build an Ashland where people don’t just love to live—they have the opportunity to build a future here.

Ashland’s natural beauty is one of our greatest treasures—and protecting it is essential to our future. I am committed to preserving our parks, forests, waterways, and open spaces while strengthening our resilience to wildfire and a changing climate. Through responsible planning, conservation, and sustainable practices, we can protect the environment we love while ensuring future generations inherit a healthy, beautiful, and resilient Ashland.

Everyone deserves to feel safe, supported, and connected in the place they call home. I believe community safety goes beyond emergency response—it means investing in prevention, mental health resources, homelessness services, disaster preparedness, and strong relationships between residents and local government. By leading with compassion while addressing challenges responsibly, we can build a healthier, safer, and more connected Ashland for everyone.

Local government works best when the community can trust the decisions being made on its behalf. I am committed to open communication, responsible stewardship of public resources, and making city government more accessible to the people it serves. That means listening to residents, clearly communicating how and why decisions are made, and holding ourselves accountable for the results. Ashland deserves leadership that is responsive, collaborative, and always puts the community first.
