A Framework for Growing Together
July 2026
Early conversations with both the county and the city tell me the one thing that matters: both sides want to work on this. Here's the framework in full — three tiers of territory, the numbers before every vote, and a growth plan that matches the county we live in today. Nothing is signed, no formal meetings have happened, and nobody has committed to anything — that's for elected bodies to decide in public. But the willingness is there, and you deserve to see what I'll carry to the table if you send me to the commission.

Tennessee Voter Guide: ★★★★★ — Strongest Endorsement
July 2026
I'm humbled and grateful to receive the 2026 Tennessee Voter Guide's highest rating — five stars, their strongest endorsement — for County Commission District 2, Seat A. The guide's non-partisan ratings are based on each candidate's answers to a questionnaire reflecting a conservative biblical worldview.
“We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.”
Data Centers & Loudon County
July 2026
Here's the part of the data center debate almost nobody mentions: Loudon County already has a data center — and it's the right kind. Right-sized, publicly owned, and built for our community's needs at LCUB. I've laid out the honest pros and cons, what TVA and the state are doing to keep hyperscale costs off your power bill, and where I stand.
County Budget Resources
July 2026
I built these tools to dig into Loudon County's FY2026 finances — see how reserves, revenue, and spending stack up. The county is in sound fiscal shape with strong reserves and a growing tax base. It's confidently investing in capital — mostly schools — and has the balance sheet to do it. The key is managing the debt ramp and reserve deployment strategically through 2031. Use these tools to see the math yourself.
