I never set out to become a politician—being mayor was never on my bucket list. But after serving more than six years on the Planning & Zoning Committee, I could no longer ignore what I was seeing. Too many ordinances, while written with good intentions, were far too invasive for a community of Blackfoot’s size. On top of that, our ordinances are scattered across multiple sections, difficult to find, and confusing to follow. We deserve fewer, clearer rules—ordinances that are easy to locate, simple to understand, and fairly enforced.
I am running because Blackfoot needs a mayor who will put families first. For me, that means restoring Jensen’s Grove to its rightful place as the jewel of our city, ensuring reliable water pressure for every household, maintaining our parks, and building a community swimming pool where kids and grandkids can safely play. It also means being wise stewards of taxpayer dollars—reducing unnecessary costs, spending efficiently, and setting clear priorities so that every dollar goes where it matters most.
My platform is rooted in service, not politics. I want to simplify ordinances, reduce red tape that frustrates both families and businesses, and focus our city’s energy on the essentials: safety, water, infrastructure, and the community spaces that make Blackfoot a place we’re proud to call home.
With a career in law, business, and community service, I know how to listen, solve problems, and deliver results. I am running to ensure Blackfoot grows responsibly, governs wisely, spends efficiently, and always puts people first.
