🔰 1. Battle-Tested Leadership

“With 23 years of military service, I bring battle-tested leadership — the kind that stays calm under pressure, makes tough decisions, and never backs down when it matters most.”

📚 2. Fierce Commitment to Our Schools

“I have a fierce commitment to our schools — not just words, but action. I will fight for the resources, and support our students and teachers deserve.”

🎓 3. Education and Experience

“My leadership is built on both education and experience — the kind that comes from real-world service, not just politics. With a Master's degree in Public Administration and over two decades of service at the local, state and federal level, I know how systems work, and how to get the results this community deserves.”

🇺🇸 4. Conservative Values

“I stand firmly on Conservative, Christian values — faith, family, personal responsibility, and limited government. These aren’t just beliefs; they’re the foundation of everything I do.”

🧠 5. Critical Thinking

“In an age of division and noise, I will bring critical thinking to the table not emotional reactions — I will ask the hard questions, weighing every option and decision carefully, considering how the second and third order effects will impact this community and always putting people, before politics.”

🚨 6. Support First Responders

Utilizing over a decade of law enforcement experience to support first responders.

Tomorrow, We Vote.

Tomorrow, we will choose our leadership — both at the state level and here at home in our local communities. For the voters of the Simmonsville District, that means selecting who will represent you on the Craig County Board of Supervisors.

I have always believed that voters deserve a choice. No seat should ever go uncontested, and no election should be decided by default. That’s why Mr. Brian Lipes and I both stepped forward — to ensure that the people of Simmonsville have a real choice in this election.

I commend Mr. Lipes for joining me in the demanding but rewarding journey of campaigning for public office. For me, this journey began back in March, when I entered the Republican primary and ran against the incumbent. It’s been an experience filled with hard work, meaningful conversations, and a renewed appreciation for our community and the values we share.

As the Republican candidate for the Board of Supervisors, Simmonsville District, I’ve done my best to show you who I am, what I believe, and what I stand for. Now, the decision rests with you.

Tomorrow, November 4th, 2025 — your voice, your choice, your vote will decide the future of our district. Every single vote counts!

Supporting Craig County Public Schools isn’t just a slogan or a line on a postcard — it’s a promise backed by action.

It means showing up, getting involved, and celebrating the people who make our schools great — the students, teachers, and staff. Whether it’s a fundraiser, a school event, or a chilly night cheering for our Rockets.

If elected on Tuesday, I will continue to be there for our schools 💙

It’s been wonderful to see all of the yard signs and handmade displays of support across Craig County this season - what an incredible show of community pride for our 8–0 Rockets!

A huge thank-you to Amanda Horne for organizing the purchase of these yard signs, and to Market Street Pharmacy and Shaun VanDyke For Board of Supervisor Simmonsville District for sponsoring them so that fans could proudly show their Rocket spirit all over the county.

It’s this kind of support that makes Craig County such a special place to live - where the whole community rallies behind our students, athletes, and schools.

Let’s keep that Rocket spirit going strong tomorrow night as the Rockets defeat Narrows! 🚀🏈
