Overland Park is consistently ranked among the best places to live in our nation. As our population grows, citizen expectations change, and technology evolves, our elected officials must craft smart, strategic policies and partnerships to ensure we maintain this desirability now and for generations to come.

Acing the basics: Safe neighborhoods and livable infrastructure

Strong communities start with getting the basics right. I’ll work to ensure our police, fire, and emergency teams are fully supported — and that our roads, utilities, and public spaces are safe, reliable, and built to last. That means smooth streets and sidewalks, fast snow removal, well-maintained parks, and responsive city services. By planning ahead and investing wisely, we can keep Overland Park a thriving, connected community for generations to come.

Building an economy that secures our quality of life

The quality of life we enjoy in Overland Park is built on a strong local economy. I’m committed to attracting good-paying jobs, supporting responsible growth, and making smart fiscal decisions that strengthen our tax base without overburdening residents. By leveraging our talented workforce, great schools, and business-friendly climate, we can create opportunity and secure the resources needed to keep our neighborhoods safe, our infrastructure strong, and our community thriving for generations to come.

Creating a place to call home forever

Overland Park should be a place where people can build their lives — and stay for every stage of it. That means creating a place where it is possible to start a career, raise a family, and retire in the same community. We need homes for every stage of life — from your first place out on your own to family homes to peaceful retirements. I want our kids to come back to high-paying jobs and safe, welcoming neighborhoods — and one day raise families of their own here, confident that the same opportunities will be waiting for the next generation. Because by caring for every generation, we build more than just a city — we create a place to call home forever.

 Delivering efficient, responsible government

Maintaining the high quality of life we enjoy in Overland Park requires more than good intentions — it takes careful planning, smart spending, and clear accountability. I’m committed to delivering efficient, responsible government by practicing strong fiscal stewardship that protects essential services, preserves the city’s financial health, and avoids unnecessary tax increases. Every dollar should be spent with purpose — and with the future of our community in mind.
