Boone County is where I was raised, and it’s where I’m raising my son. That matters to me because the decisions we make today shape whether our children feel like they can build their futures right here at home.
That’s why I’m running for Boone County Commission.
My focus is simple: making Boone County a place our kids want to come back to.
We have strong families, hardworking people, and some of the most beautiful natural resources in the state. With responsible planning and steady leadership, we can create the conditions that attract new businesses, support small business growth, and strengthen tourism in ways that fit who we are.
I want to see:
• Local businesses supported and encouraged
• New industries welcomed responsibly
• Tourism and outdoor recreation developed thoughtfully
•Growth that strengthens our communities instead of changing their character
County government doesn’t control everything, but it does help set priorities, support development efforts, and work with partners to create opportunity. I believe we can move Boone County forward by focusing on long-term growth and smart decision-making.
As a mom, I think about the future constantly. I want my son, and every child here, to have the option to graduate, build a career, raise a family, and be proud to stay in Boone County.
If elected, I would be honored to bring a fresh perspective, steady leadership, and a deep love for this community to the Commission.
This campaign isn’t about politics. It’s about legacy.
It’s about building a Boone County our children will want to come home to.
