NEW direction, new leadership

I have lived in Liberty County for 30+ years, and have seen the demographics change. It is important that we have a representative who can understand and connect with the diverse needs and perspectives of our community.

I am running for State Representative in Liberty County because our district has changed, and we need leadership that reflects that. I believe in fostering a community where every individual has the opportunity to thrive and succeed. By promoting transparent governance, economic growth, and support for education and public safety, I am committed to ensuring that Liberty County remains a place where peace of mind and prosperity go hand in hand.

I believe that my new and unique perspective as a candidate positions me well to effectively represent the voices and concerns of all constituents in our district.

On May 21, 2024, join me in shaping a brighter future for our community.

What’s important to Liberty County residents

in 2024?

transparency & accountability:

I will work to ensure that government decisions are made in an open and transparent manner, with opportunities for public input and feedback. I will also advocate for stronger ethics and anti-corruption measures to hold elected officials accountable.

Environmental Protection:

Liberty County is home to beautiful natural resources that need to be protected for future generations. I will work to promote sustainable practices, expand green spaces, and preserve our waterways and coastal areas.

economic growth & job creation:

I will support policies that promote local businesses and create new opportunities for economic development. This includes investing in infrastructure improvements, providing resources for small businesses, and attracting new industries to the area.

Public Safety:

I will prioritize the safety and well-being of all residents by supporting local law enforcement, fire departments, and emergency services. I will also work to address issues of crime and substance abuse through preventative measures and community-based programs.

Education & healthcare access:

I believe that every resident deserves access to high-quality education and healthcare services. I will work to improve school funding and resources, support professional development for teachers, and expand access to healthcare for all residents.


Veterans & military families:

With Fort Stewart right on our doorstep, it is important that we prioritize supporting and honoring our military members and their families. This includes fighting for increased funding and resources for veteran services, promoting policies that support their successful transition back into civilian life, and addressing issues like homelessness and unemployment among veterans.

Having lived in Liberty County for over thirty years, I have witnessed the progress we’ve made firsthand. But we can not afford to wait another two years for real opportunities, like jobs that pay a living wage. It is time to make a difference for all of us.

I am committed to serving the residents of Liberty County with integrity, compassion, and dedication. With your support, we can create a brighter future for all who call this area home.
