Support Key for Lebanon City Council

As we approach the upcoming election, I want to share why this moment matters and why I’m running for the Lebanon City Council Ward 3. Our community is facing important decisions about the direction we want to take, and this election gives us a real opportunity to shape that future.

What has stood out to me is the need to be laser focused on affordability, growth, and community/business engagement. I have been working over the last 18 months to understand the key issues residents and businesses care about — public safety, schools, economic vitality, housing and infrastructure. In my conversations with literally hundreds of residents, above all else, most have voiced concerns about their ability to continue to afford property taxes and rents. Rising property taxes has become a significant pain point for too many of our neighbors. I believe the time and effort I’ve put in to engage with the community has prepared me to address these issues and reflects my genuine understanding of what our community wants and needs.

Our community is at a crossroad. We can continue to manage the city in the same way and blame our issues on what the State is not providing us or we can seek change and use our energy to find and reduce waste in city operations, embrace smart growth that expands the tax base, and identify new revenue opportunities. I am committed to seeking change that works for all of us and will do so with practical, steady, and community-focused leadership.

Elections are not just about choosing a leader—they’re about choosing the kind of community we want to build. I encourage you to learn more about my campaign, platform, and how my ideas align with the future I believe the majority of our residents want for our city.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope you’ll join me in making your voice heard on Election Day, March 10. Every vote counts!
