I'm running for Oswego County Legislature in District 9 because it's time for a new generation of leadership with fresh ideas, proven experience, and a willingness to do the hard work our community deserves.

I wasn't born into wealth or political connections. Like so many people in Oswego County, I've worked hard for everything I've earned. That experience taught me the value of perseverance, personal responsibility, and making the most of every opportunity. Those are the values I'll bring to county government.

As a public servant for the past 25 years, I've dedicated my career to improving the programs New Yorkers rely on through creative, cost-effective solutions. I know how to make government work better, solve complex problems, and be a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars. I'll bring that same commitment to public service to Oswego County and work every day to deliver the results our community deserves.

My wife, Jessica, and I are raising our two young children in the Village of Central Square. Like so many families, we've chosen to put down roots here because we believe in the future of Oswego County. I'm running to help make it a place where our children—and yours—can choose to stay, work, and raise their own families.
