I’ve filed for  Magistrate in District 4 as a Republican candidate.

I’m currently the Commissioner in District 2. I took all request to the court that anyone has asked me to.

I have a history of serving the people of most of District 4 through the fire service and Elkhorn ambulance service for a combined 30 years  I will work to keep Pike county moving forward with whom ever is elected to the court, to try to bring jobs to this area and stop your kids and mine from leaving our great county to find a job. Anyone that has ever asked anything from me, I have bent over backwards to see that I have done whatever I could possibly to for them.

So I’m asking for your support and vote in May 2026. There will be several meet-and-greets to come where I look forward to seeing everyone and discussing our future of Pike County. As always, for a better Pike county for us all.
