I am running because I believe Riverton is worth the work. I was raised here, returned here to raise my family, and have had the privilege of serving this community as a council member and as mayor. I want Riverton to be a place where our children can grow up, find opportunity, afford a home, build a life, and be proud to stay.

Local government should be practical, responsive, and honest. I believe city leaders should listen carefully, make decisions based on good information, respect the role of citizens and the council, and focus on the basic work that makes a city strong: safe streets, reliable infrastructure, responsible budgeting, good staff, and a community that believes in its own future.

I am not running for a title. I am running because I care about Riverton and believe I can continue helping move it in the right direction with integrity, common sense, and a willingness to listen.

1. Responsible, practical city government
Riverton needs careful budgeting, strong city staff, good planning, and decisions based on facts rather than guesswork. We should provide essential services well and be honest about costs, needs, and tradeoffs. I fully support our airport, ambulance, and ground transportation.

2. Growth that helps local families
Economic growth should create real opportunity for people who live here. I want Riverton to be a place where young people can stay, families can afford to live, businesses can succeed, and our community can grow without losing what makes it home.

3. Listening and citizen-focused leadership
City government works best when citizens feel heard and respected. I believe elected officials are representatives, not rulers. We should invite public input, communicate clearly, and make decisions with the community instead of above it.
