Experienced. Dedicated. Ready to Work.

Public service isn't new to me. I've spent years doing the work, and I have a proven track record of cutting through political noise to make local government more open, efficient, and accountable to you.​

  • I was the youngest municipal official in parish history at the age of 19, serving a full term as a Kentwood Councilman and was recognized as a 2019 Tangi "Future 40 Under 40" honoree.

  • I earned a Bachelor’s in Political Science at Southeastern Louisiana University, where I am now continuing my studies to complete a Master’s in History.

  • Dedicated to honest, transparent leadership. My track record includes serving as a Board Director for thousands of Louisiana students and founding the independent news agency Kentwood Through the Lens at age 15.

The DISTRICT 4WARD Initiative

District 4 needs more than just reactive fixes for a few streets. This Initiative moves beyond the narrow focus of the past with a holistic strategy to revitalize our infrastructure, make our communities safer, and boost the local economy. Its time to move our district 4WARD!

Brighter Streets. Safer Neighborhoods

People in our neighborhoods and commercial corridors deserve to feel safe and protected. If elected, I will strongly advocate for more street lights across District 4 as a key part of my DISTRICT 4WARD Initiative.

  • District 4 has 399 Entergy streetlights, I counted. But this is simply not enough, so if elected, I will launch a lighting audit across our district because statistics have proven, brighter streets deter crime, and make communities feel safer.

DISTRICT 4

A CONNECTED HAMMOND.

I am committed to working with state and local officials to bring sidewalks to District 4's major corridors like Highway 51 and 190 to provide safe passage for every resident.

  • In the past, sidewalk and traffic developments in or district have taken on a limited, self serving focus. It is time for a change because District 4 deserves better.

Planning for the Future.

If elected, I will work to create a holistic roadmap for growth via a District 4 Master Plan. This plan would seek to aesthetic standards our community deserves, stop future eyesores, and actively recruit quality businesses

  • A thought out Master Plan ensures we never have to deal with developments that clash with the character of our neighborhoods and shows investors that District 4 is open for business and has a clear vision for its future.

No POLITICS. JUST PROGRESS.

I believe local government should work for you, not get in its own way.

Therefore, my commitment to you is simple:

  • Bring People Together: I promise to be a bridge, not a roadblock. I will work with our residents, the City Council, and the new Mayor to make our city thrive.

  • Transparency First: I promise to always keep you informed. Following my success digitizing public records in previous roles, I will ensure you never have to fight a dysfunctional website just to find a public document. 

  • Professionalism Over Politics: I promise to be the logical voice of reason in City Hall. I will prioritize honesty and objective standards over the personal agendas and that have historically divided our leadership.

District 4 deserves a representative who treats the job with the professionalism it requires.
