Expand all | Collapse all

I am a Christian, husband, father, and attorney running to give South Lexington a progressive voice in our legislature. As a former teacher, I am an advocate for public schools and an expanding workforce for Kentucky.
  • Support Public Schools and Educators
  • Expand Our Workforce and Secure Our Middle Class
  • Keep Our Public Healthy with Cost Effective Healthcare
As a former teacher, I'm passionate about keeping our taxpayer money in our public schools and ensuring that our state pensions are fully funded. We can help all of our state employees by identifying new and progressive forms of revenue, like legalized sports betting and recreational marijuana, which would infuse our budget with much-needed money.

In my current career as an attorney, I believe that we can do better with our criminal justice system. We need new, modern policies to re-enfranchise our citizens, and curb the over-crowding of our jails.

Lexington should also be a place of compassionate welcome for all of Kentucky's vulnerable population.
