Spring Hill Citizens Come First...
I’m committed to ensuring that Spring Hill's growth is balanced with a focus on livability and infrastructure.
​
​​As Mayor, I have and will continue to:​​
​​
-
Agree to RESPONSIBLE growth that directly benefits our citizens and oppose (especially high-density) residential development that does not benefit our citizens​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
One of the main reasons I ran for mayor and am running for re-election is to change the trajectory of the unbridled residential growth. When I became Mayor in 2021, over 10,000 homes, townhomes, and apartments had already been approved by previous administrations. Currently, thousands of these structures have yet to be built. Unfortunately, we cannot stop the construction of these buildings.
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
-
Seek citizen input to make informed decisions
​​​
-
Prioritize public safety by properly equipping and funding the police and fire departments
​​​
-
Secure non-property tax revenue by pursuing state and federal grants
​​​​
-
Be an ambassador for our great City, representing us locally and beyond our borders​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Rezoning Property Voting Records...
My BOMA voting record shows my dedication to only approving responsible growth.
During my nearly 4 years as Mayor, only 3 ordinances passed that rezoned property to increase residential building rights.
​
-
My only YES vote (since I have been your Mayor) was for an ordinance favorable to be beneficial development that will increase revenue from visitors to our city, support our local businesses, and help pay for needed infrastructure improvements
​
-
I voted NO on the other 2 ordinances to increase residential building rights since they were not in the best interest of the citizens. Unfortunately, these ordinances were passed by the majority of the BOMA voting YES
​​
-
Alderman Matt Fitterer and Alderman John Canepari are both running for mayor. They both voted YES on all 3 ordinances to increase residential building rights during my administration
​​​
​​
During Alderman Fitterer's 10 years as an Alderman, 21 ordinances passed that rezoned property to include increased residential building rights. He voted Yes on 20 of the ordinances and was absent for 1 vote, including the 3 mentioned above.
​​​​​
​
During Alderman Canepari's 6 years as an Alderman, 8 ordinances passed that rezoned property to include increased residential building rights. He voted Yes on 4 of the ordinances, including the 3 mentioned above. ​
Your Vote is IMPORTANT!
​I’m asking for your vote so I can continue to champion the needs and wants of our community.
​​​​
I have no hidden agendas or conflicts of interest as your Mayor and, if re-elected, will continue putting your interests first.

I am not accepting donations for my 2025 re-election campaign.
