Since 2019, I have had the privilege to serve you, the residents of Naples, on our City Council. During this time I have kept front of mind, that I represent all neighborhoods of our community. And in doing so I work to bring sensible, pragmatic solutions to all our city’s challenges:
Protect & Enhance
Naples's High Quality of Life
Ensure
strong public safety
Enforce
our land development codes and strengthen them where needed
Support
the operation of a safe, economically successful, and community-engaged Naples Airport
Manage
city financial resources in a prudent and sound manner
Mitigate
flood risk through resiliency planning and investment
I am running to serve you again in our next City Council election on February 3rd, 2026.
- Naples residents have a special love for our city. Naples's many attributes - our beaches, Gulf and bays, tree canopy, safe and welcoming neighborhoods, and other elements that create our excellent quality of life - are why we were drawn here and why we care so much about its future.
- We also know that the pressures on our community are only increasing - more traffic congestion due to rapid growth in Collier County, growing numbers of people visiting our beaches and restaurants, rising demand for second homes and increased risks from more frequent and intensive storms.
- These pressures call for leadership with the experience, background, and independence to chart, together with you, the right course for our city. Now more than ever, we must make smart decisions to deal with a more complex and challenging time.
- Above all this means we must be resilient. And resiliency cuts across every aspect of our lives here in Naples: pubic safety, protecting our beaches and bays, managing growth and development, as well as reducing flood risk. Each is vitally important.
- I hope I can earn your vote in this upcoming election. I encourage you to learn more about me and my Key Priorities through this website.
