West Columbia, Our Home

"These past four years as District 4's Councilman has been the privilege of my life. Home is where the heart is and West Columbia is where I call home! I love our city and am proud of all that we have accomplished from navigating a global pandemic to while continuing City services to creating a city market to highlight local vendors and artists. These are just some of the actions cause people to #HeadWest to see all that makes West Columbia special. Our sense of community persists and it is vital that it remains as our City continues to experience growth. As we continue to move forward as a City, I want to ensure that growth is responsibly handled and that our City is prepared so that our community does not have any shortfalls in services. As we look forward to Election Day, I humbly ask for your vote to re-elect me as your District Four City Councilman so we can continue the progress and success in WeCo while maintaining what makes our great City special. OUR People ("We") and OUR Community ("Co")."
