Mission:
I envision my role on the Thomasville City Council to be one that will help to ensure that Thomasville City continues to move forward in a
Positive and innovative direction. Through hard work and dedication I will make intelligent and informed decisions when it come to our city.
I want to ensure that all citizens of Thomasville feel like they matter and are not taken for granted. I believe that everyone who resides
within our city limits should be afforded representation and in order for us to move forward we need for all citizens to be involved and informed. I would like to see better communication between our citizens and city leaders. Updates on programs, committees, groups and other activities should be shared so that citizen involvement may take place. Information about our city is valuable and all citizens should have access to it. I would like to see new businesses of all sizes continue to be recruited and supported by our council and our Chamber of Commerce. I feel that our small business owners and entrepreneurs will lead the way to growing Thomasville and citizens must be on board to shop local and support our own. And lastly my passion is supporting the youth of our community. We as a city must take responsibility for the rearing and accountability of our youth. We must provide activities and programs for them in addition to sports. We have several programs provided by our school system and parks and recreation department but it must be more. Our youth are the future of this city and relationships must be built and maintained to produce productive citizens.
