PRIORITIES

As mayor, crime prevention and public safety will be my top priority. I will ensure our police and fire departments are fully staffed, trained and equipped to keep our neighborhoods, parks and schools crime-free. I am honored to have the endorsement of the Carmel Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 185 and the Carmel Professional Firefighters Local 4444.

Carmel is financially sound, with low taxes, a balanced budget, and a solid rainy-day fund, and we have done it while maintaining high-quality, citizen-first municipal services. As mayor, I will focus on customer service, public safety, and infrastructure and ensure Carmel is financially responsible with your tax dollars.

For over 12 years, I have put my constituents first, listening to their concerns over coffee and at town hall meetings. I’ve worked hard to make sure communication is a two-way street. As mayor, I will continue this approach increasing transparency and ensuring you have a say in Carmel’s future.

I support state, county and local governments working cooperatively to ensure our area remains competitive via low business operating costs, a deep bench of talent and an environment free from overreaching and nonsensical regulation. Additionally, I support home rule – where local officials are allowed to make decisions for local residents, as they are closest to their constituents and know their communities best.
