For too long, Kingman’s growth strategy has felt like a bad game of SimCity . Our leadership over the past couple of decades has focused on grand plans and sprawling developments, as if they were placing virtual buildings on a digital map—without considering the real-world consequences for our community. Now, instead of strengthening the heart of Kingman, they’re doubling down on building a “new Kingman” outside of town. This approach isn’t just misguided—it’s failing us. The

Kingman residents deserve transparency when it comes to economic development agreements. The City Council has not yet approved the proposed tax incentive agreement with Hobby Lobby, yet construction on the store has already begun. This raises serious questions: Why is construction underway before an official vote? Has any informal assurance been given to the developer? Does this put pressure on the Council to approve the agreement regardless of public input? Hobby Lobby’s ow

When you drive through Kingman, you see the reality: potholes, aging streets, inadequate lighting, and drainage issues that impact safety and quality of life. These are not luxuries—they’re essentials. Before we spend taxpayer dollars on non-essential projects, we need to take care of the basics. The State of Our Roads Kingman Public Works maintains over four million square feet of roadway —enough to pave a two-lane road all the way to Long Beach, California. That’s a massive

Public trust begins with public access. For too long, Kingman residents have been left wondering how their tax dollars are being spent and why certain projects move forward while others never seem to happen. Budgets are approved, consultants are hired, and decisions are made — but too often, those details are buried in lengthy reports or discussed behind closed doors. That’s not how local government should work. As your City Council representative, I’ll make it my priority to

The City of Kingman recently conducted a survey to measure community support for a proposed $85 million General Obligation Bond  to fund a new indoor recreation and sports facility, Sunbelt Park expansion, and golf course improvements. The results offer important insight into how residents feel about the city’s priorities — and the message is clear: Kingman wants better recreational opportunities, but not at the expense of higher taxes. What the Survey Found Interest in a Rec

Kingman’s residents work hard for every dollar — and they deserve a city government that does the same. For too long, our community has watched projects stall, funds get redirected, and priorities shift without clear communication or accountability. That’s not good enough. Tax dollars should be treated with the same care and respect that families treat their own budgets — with transparency, responsibility, and results. If elected, I’ll work to ensure every dollar is spent wis

Kingman is more than a city to me — it’s home. It’s where I’ve lived, worked, volunteered, and built lifelong friendships. I’ve seen this community come together in times of joy and in moments of hardship, and I believe deeply in its potential to grow stronger, more connected, and more accountable to the people who call it home. I’m running for Kingman City Council in 2026  because I believe it’s time for leadership that listens — leadership that values transparency, responsi

Today marks an important step forward — I officially met with the Kingman City Clerk’s Office  to pick up my candidate packet for Kingman City Council 2026 . It’s both exciting and humbling to take this step toward serving the community I’ve called home for decades. This moment isn’t about politics — it’s about people. It’s about transparency, accountability, and making sure every voice in Kingman is heard and respected. As I reviewed the packet, I couldn’t help but reflect o
