STAND WITH TAXPAYERS 72% of Shawnee residents rejected a property tax increase to fund a rec center that would have competed with our own businesses and diverted funds from real needs. I stand with our residents and our business owners and will work to lower taxes. DEMAND TRANSPARENCY The City Council has a history of backroom deals and a lack of trust with the public. I will ensure our work is done in the open and that you always have a voice. FOCUS ON COMMUNITY NEEDS Our pipes, sidewalks and streets need millions in critical repairs. Our police and fire must be properly funded. We must fund these critical priorities first. BRING SHAWNEE FAMILIES TOGETHER Champion ideas that will unite Shawnee and benefit all our residents. Start with bringing back Independence Day Fireworks to Shawnee Mission Park. OTHER ISSUES Life - I am proud to be 100% pro-life. 2nd Amendment - I stand proudly in support of the 2nd Amendment.
