ON THE ISSUES
Create budgets for Williamson County guided by fiscally conservative principles used in small business.
We shouldn’t spend money we don’t have on unnecessary services, or raise taxes on citizens before digging deep to find creative ways to fund vital programs. As a small business owner, I understand the challenge of keeping expenses low to help revenues grow, and I am ready to take on that challenge for Williamson County.
As a military veteran, I will always put my full support behind our first responders, our sheriff and the deputies that keep us safe, and our administrative and jail staff.
I believe in the longstanding tradition of backing the blue. Our sheriff’s office needs to be adequately equipped to meet the needs of a growing citizenry. We cannot allow our department to fall behind in technology or equipment, so a full understanding of the needs of our county, backed by data, should dictate the future budgets for Willco law enforcement.
We need to work with Williamson County Fire/Rescue, a non-profit that does so much for Willco, to ensure it can provide the best fire protection for the county.
As an all volunteer fire department, Williamson Fire has had trouble recruiting and maintaining enough firefighters to serve our county. We need to step up and grow our partnership with this vital community asset.
Support the revision of all Williamson County codes and regulations to modernize and simplify.
Less burdensome regulations benefit our homeowners and business owners, and streamlines our county operations. Our county regulatory boards need to work with the Commission on issues important to citizens. We don’t need to cut our county workforce or slash departments, we need to make them more efficient and give them the right tools for their job.
Become a partner with municipalities county-wide on their Urban Growth Boundaries (UGB).
We need to be careful in considering the school impacts of UGB’s and ensure that future development pays it’s fair share into new and upgraded schools. Urban Growth Boundary does not need to be a scary concept, what it needs is true community-minded leadership that will partner with our municipal leaders, not work against them. Shouldn’t our county commissioners have a good working relationship with our municipal leaders? I already do.
Properly fund our public schools and hold the system accountable to being good stewards of their budgets.
As a father of two children in Williamson County Schools I am committed to ensuring we have ample funding available to our students and it is used to create the best education in the State of Tennessee.
Plan for infrastructure improvements before the problems arise.
Support the addition of businesses and developments that will partner to make those improvements. We shouldn’t always hear the phrase “we needed those improvements yesterday.”
Continue supporting the Williamson 2040 plan to enforce a less dense unincorporated area with certain Planned Growth Areas (PGA).
Maintaining a one house to 5 acre land use plan will preserve the rural character of Williamson’s unincorporated areas. We should encourage fiscally responsible, high-quality growth within the areas already being developed.
Most importantly, ensure that the county is being run for the people, by the people. No more backroom deals or closed curtain politics.
Citizens shouldn’t have to guess what is going on behind closed doors, county business is the business of every homeowner and business owner in Willco! I will be transparent and honest about every vote I make.
