What do you believe to be the top three issues affecting Martin County?

•Water

We need better and cleaner water that doesn’t cost the citizens of Martin County a fortune

•Jobs

Everyone has to leave the county to get a good-paying job.

•Things for our youth to do

Our youth have nothing to do in the county and have to travel outside of the country to have fun.

If elected, what changes/goals would you advocate and why?

If elected, my goal would be to help make Martin County a place where our people would want to stay and raise their families, and other people would want to visit because I love living in Martin County and would like to see it grow.

In no more than 400 words, tell us why voters should choose you for this office?

I am young and have a good work ethic and would use that toward what District 2 needs to help Martin County grow.

I am honest, dependable, and will be available to the citizens to hear their concerns and opinions. I am a Christian and will always do what is right.
