Building a future we’re proud of.

leading a new generation of politics.

MEET IAN

Ian doesn’t look like your typical politician. Because he isn’t. As a native of Midway, Kentucky, he’s guided by the values he learned from a young age: care for your neighbor, treat others with dignity and respect, and with hard work, anything is possible. He was raised by small business owners, is the grandson of a farmer, and a public servant, and now he serves the City of Midway as one of the youngest elected officials in the nation. He understands that we have more in common than our differences. And he’s just getting started.

IAN’S MISSION

Politicians are supposed to represent the people who elected them. Our communities work best when everyone is represented, not just a select few. Ian believes in meeting people where they are, treating them with dignity and respect, and advocating for a better future for all. Ian understands what it means to represent a new generation of leadership. No matter who you are, you deserve a voice. A voice that works for you.

He’s running to get things done. Midway deserves strong leadership that is willing to build coalitions, listen to all stakeholders, and put Midway at the forefront of conversations. We have major issues that are facing our City: Infrastructure, Economic Growth, Development, and others. We have to be proactive, not reactive.

When he ran for his first time, he didn’t run to make history. He didn’t run to be the youngest elected official in City history. He didn’t run to be one of the youngest elected officials in the state and country. He didn’t run to become the youngest openly gay elected official in the state and nation. He ran to get things done. That’s what he’s done, and that’s what he will continue to do.
