Why Did Hobby Lobby Start Construction Before Council Approval?
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.

Every Dollar Matters
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
