Why did you run for office?

Clayton has been my family’s home for nearly 300 years. I grew up here, I’m raising my daughter here, and I’ve watched our town change faster than most residents can keep track of. I ran for Council because people deserve a government that is transparent, responsible with public funds, and responsive to the community it serves.

My goal is to help Clayton work like the community we already know it can be: neighborly, honest, and rooted in shared responsibility. I’m committed to making sure residents can clearly see how decisions are made and how those decisions affect their daily lives.
