Macomb County has a $1.1B Budget and our community should experience the fullness of that investment.
Investing in Our Crumbling Infrastructure
As your next county commissioner, I understand the frustration and challenges our community faces with the state of Mound (south of 696) and 10 Mile Road— they are widely recognized as two of the most deteriorated roads in Michigan. Like many of you, my family and I have personally endured the consequences of their neglected maintenance, from the daily commute to school and work to the unexpected and costly vehicle damages.

Ensuring a Balanced Budget

Advocating for Greater Community Mental Health Services
At the heart of our democracy is a promise: that we look out for one another, that we lift each other up. And nowhere is this promise more critical than in the realm of community mental health. It’s more than a policy issue; it's a fundamental reflection of our values, of who we are as a people. Our counties have a profound responsibility to ensure that mental health services are not luxuries for the few but fundamental rights for all.
Mental Health is a Priority: Expanding services to support mental well-being for everyone, ensuring no one is left behind.
Accessible Services for All: We're working to make mental health services more accessible, breaking down barriers to care.
Building a Supportive Community: Strengthening networks of care to provide comprehensive support for individuals and families.
Investing in Mental Health is Investing in Our Future: By focusing on mental health, we create a stronger, healthier community for generations to come.
Fighting for Veterans and Residents with Disabilities
Raising awareness about the issues facing veterans and residents with disabilities is a top priority of mine and is very personal to our family. Our veterans fought for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and it is our turn to fight for them. Accessibility to public spaces, buildings, and other facilities is not a privilege, but a right that should be guaranteed for all people. We need to fight for those who fought for us and ensure everyone has access to participate in our community.
Honor and Support Our Veterans: Ensuring that our veterans receive the respect, care, and services they deserve.
Accessibility for All: Committing to a county that is fully accessible, where residents with disabilities can thrive.
Advocacy and Action: We're not just talking about change; we're working to make it happen, ensuring rights and services are fully provided.
A Community That Cares: Building a supportive network that recognizes and addresses the unique needs of veterans and residents with disabilities.
