My campaign is focused on three things:
WORK. PROTECT. BUILD.
WORK:
Inflation and cost of living are putting significant pressure on families. There's a perception that the government isn't working for them. It's time for City Hall to listen, increase transparency, and optimize the use of taxpayers' funds. As your mayor, I commit to work hard and show up every day. I aim to be the most accessible and transparent mayor this city has seen.
PROTECT:
Over the past decade, our city has seen a substantial rise in crime rates - the increase in violent crime is particularly concerning. It's undeniable: we need a stronger police presence. We must protect what makes Rogers a wonderful place to live. Our children deserve safe, high-performing schools, and secure neighborhoods and parks. For me supporting our law enforcement is not a political platform, it's a core value.
BUILD:
We have to build more, and we must do so quickly and intelligently. Soaring housing prices are making it unattainable for many to live here, straining family budgets. We urgently need more housing of all kinds. If you’ve driven at all lately, you know the growing traffic congestion calls for more and better roads, bridges, and infrastructure. We need more entrepreneurs and business developments that bring good jobs, and less red tape and delays at City Hall. Other cities are outperforming us in this area and we can’t be left behind. As your mayor, I will lean into building a future-oriented city, while celebrating our heritage and preparing it for even brighter days ahead.
