Pride.

We're back! After a brief hiatus (life has been busy, and I'll get into that soon), I'm excited to return with something that is deeply personal.

Committed to Serving The People

I think it is finally setting in that I get the pleasure of representing the people of Midway. These past few weeks have been very busy preparing to be the best Councilmember I can be. Whether it's trainings, meeting elected officials near and far, or simply getting everything set up with the City of Midway, I've found so much joy in telling folks that I get to represent the wonderful people of Midway...
