Celebrating what makes Bartlesville Unique
Bartlesville is truly special. There aren’t many places our size where you can still feel connected to the whole community. As a pastor and longtime resident, I love seeing familiar faces at school, the ball fields, Walmart, church, and out to eat on a Saturday night. I’m committed to making sure everyone feels like they belong and has a way to connect to the life of this unique city. That’s why I’m running for City Council—to connect people to the government and ensure the government stays connected to the people.
Working Hard for Bartlesville’s Future
Bartlesville is a place where hard work and innovation create opportunities for success for everyone. Drawing on my experience as a business owner and leader in community projects, I’m committed to driving that success by bringing in new businesses, helping existing ones grow, and ensuring there are good jobs that keep our community strong. We also deserve high-quality, affordable healthcare, which is why I’ll support efforts to bring more health services to the west side. I’m here to work on the things that matter—like improving housing and securing our water supply—so our city thrives and we all move forward together.
Connected and Accountable Leadership
Leadership in Bartlesville should mean being connected and accountable to the community. Throughout my years as a pastor and community leader, I’ve always prioritized transparency and accessibility. That’s why I’m sharing my personal cell number and email with everyone in our ward. I’m committed to making sure your voice is heard and ensuring our government works for all of Bartlesville.
Integrity at the Core
Integrity is the foundation of everything I do. You can trust me to be the same person on the council as I am at church, on the softball field, serving at school, running my businesses, and spending time with my family. My leadership experience has taught me the importance of authenticity, honesty, and consistency, and I’ll bring these values to the council to ensure our city government serves the best interests of all Bartlesville residents and remains accountable to the people.
Ward 4: Where History Meets Opportunity
Ward 4 is an exciting blend of rich history and new opportunities. I’m passionate about the ongoing transformation of our historic downtown into a vibrant hub for local businesses, entertainment, and tourism. Our downtown and west side neighborhoods are packed with potential for affordable housing, development, and restoration that will benefit the entire community. The Frank Phillips district attracts people for food, shopping, recreation, and medical services, and the north side, with its strategic location along the Highway 75 corridor, offers significant opportunities for industrial growth and economic development. I’m committed to working with city leaders to unlock our ward’s full potential while preserving the unique charm that makes Bartlesville such a special place to live and visit.
A Vision for Bartlesville’s Future:
I envision Bartlesville as a thriving community where history and progress go hand in hand. I see opportunities for us to improve our health, generate wealth, and make Bartlesville an incredible place to live. Let’s revitalize our historic downtown into a vibrant hub of economic growth and community connection, foster growth in our west and north side neighborhoods, and ensure Bartlesville remains a welcoming place for long-time residents and newcomers alike. I’m committed to leading with integrity, staying accessible and accountable, and working with city leaders to keep Bartlesville growing strong. I’m excited to put my skills to work and make this vision a reality, and I hope you will give me this chance to serve.
