What makes you the best candidate for the job?
My background in economic development makes me uniquely qualified
because I work on issues from land use to zoning to transportation on a daily
basis. I know that to build a strong county we must continue to invest in
infrastructure, continue to have strong schools, and keep taxes low so we can
bring more and higher paying jobs to Rankin County.
What jobs have you had that qualify you for public office?
As Economic Development Director, I have helped secure funding for
the construction of new sewer lines, bicycle lanes, and created two
redevelopment zones to help incentivize revitalization efforts in Downtown and
Central Brandon. Having worked for the Mississippi Republican Party in 2011, I
was able to create relationships with state representatives and senators. Those
relationships are important when legislation affecting Rankin County needs to
be passed. I also worked at an engineering firm where I helped administer part
of the states $630 million in Hurricane Katrina recovery funds. I also
researched and wrote grants for specific and multi-jurisdictional clients to
create, upgrade, or improve infrastructure.
What would you like for voters to know about you?
I have experience in dealing with the major
issues facing District 2 and Rankin County. My background and experience
means that on day one I can focus on improving roads and bridges while
expanding Lakeland Drive to Highway 471, Highway 471 from Highway 25 to
I-20, and East Metro Parkway, from I-20 to Lakeland Drive. I have experience in
dealing with nuisance property and will work tirelessly to improve property
values. I will also work to expand recreational opportunities for
everyone: bike lanes, parks, athletic fields, and sidewalks.
Do you plan to keep your full-time job if elected? Talk about
your yes or no answer.
I would leave my position with the city of Brandon, if elected, so
I can put my experience to work for the people of District 2 and Rankin County
on a full-time basis.
What do you bring to the office?
