Why I'm Running for County Commission.

September 2026

Baldwin County has been my home my entire life.

I grew up here, built my career here, and have spent nearly 30 years working in a small business in downtown Milledgeville. Over the years, I have also been fortunate to serve our community in a number of different ways.

I currenty serve with Milledgeville Main Street and the Downtown Development Authority, Ocmulgee CASA, Georgia's Old Capital Heritage Center, and the Tri-County EMC Foundation. I've participated in Leadership Baldwin, graduated from the Georgia Academy for Economic Development, and GeorgiaForward's Young Gamechangers.

I also serve on the Deep Roots Festival committee, where I chair the Artist Market, and I run the Empty Stocking Fund, which helps provide Thanksgiving and Christmas meals to families in our community who need a little help during the holidays.

These experiences have allowed me to see Baldwin County from a lot of different perspectives.

I've worked alongside small-business owners, community volunteers, nonprofit organizations, families, local leaders, and people who simply care deeply about where they live.

Why Run Now?

I didn't decide to run for county commission because I wanted a title.

I decided to run because I believe Baldwin County is at an important point in its future.

We have serious financial challenges to address. We need better long-term planning for growth and land use. We need to maintain our roads, water systems, public safety, and other basic services. And we need county government that earns the confidence of the people it serves.

Those challenges won't be solved by one person or one election.

They will require commissioners who are willing to ask questions, study the issues, listen to the public, work together, and make responsible decisions even when those decisions aren't easy.

Service Before Politics

I've never believed that serving your community requires holding elected office.

There are countless people across Baldwin County who give their time every day without recognition or a title. I've tried to do my part over the years, and running for county commission is simply another way I believe I can serve.

I'm naturally more comfortable doing the work than talking about myself. Campaigning has certainly pushed me outside that comfort zone.

But I care deeply about this community and its future.

I'm not running to make noise. I'm not running to play political games.

I'm running because Baldwin County is my home, and I believe I can help.

A Better Baldwin Starts Here.
