My Trenton Story Didn't Begin With a Campaign
My Trenton story didn't begin with a campaign.
It began long before I ever thought about running for office—from delivering newspapers as a boy, to discovering a world beyond my neighborhood through a library card, to raising a family, building a business with my wife, and spending years listening to the people who walked through our doors.
I didn't become concerned about Trenton when I decided to run for City Council.
The concern came first.
The campaign came later.
Over the years, I found myself asking more questions—not just about what was happening in Trenton, but about why some problems seemed to remain year after year.
I asked questions as a resident. I asked questions as a homeowner and property owner. I asked questions as a small-business owner. And I tried to do my part in the community long before I ever asked anyone for a vote.
Eventually, one question became harder to ignore:
How long do you keep asking before you decide to become part of the body that can actually do something about it?
That's what led me here.
I'm not running because I believe one Council member can fix everything that's wrong with Trenton.
I'm running because I believe we can ask better questions, expect better follow-through, make better use of the resources we already have, and bring more residents into the conversation about where our city goes next.
One Vote. One Voice. And a government that keeps listening after Election Day.
